For Talent
We have built several programmes to foster new talent, such as our own international SWAT-programme, and an executive education programme with the Danish Technical University.
Value Creation Talent Programme
Are you a dynamic leader with a strong track record in scaling businesses and driving commercial success? Do you want to play a pivotal role in accelerating the green transition while gaining exposure to private equity and high-growth companies?
Nordic Alpha is seeking ambitious executives to join our Value Creation talent Programme (VCP). This offers a unique chance to collaborate closely with Nordic Alpha and will be a first step to potentially take on a board position in a portfolio company. You will be deeply involved in scaling green industrial technologies, optimising data streams, and contributing to value creation strategies.

DTU Green Re-Industrialisation Programme (GRIP)
At Nordic Alpha, we believe that breakthrough hardtech solutions are key to driving the Green Transition—but scaling them takes more than just capital. It requires deep market insight, capital-efficient growth strategies, and the right governance structures to navigate complexity and accelerate impact.
That's why we have built a first of its kind programme with the leading technical university in Europe, DTU.
Through a six-day executive course, with world-class lecturers from both DTU, Copenhagen Business School, University of Copenhagen and Nordic Alpha, participants are provided with deep macro and micro insights into the global re-industrialisation and how it affects the green transition.
During the programme, Nordic Alpha will hold several modules focused entirely on the operational toolkit and the 10 value creation models it employs.
Early Career Private Equity Bootcamp
We are actively working to engage young talent from all areas and backgrounds passionate about private equity and sustainable investing. With our Private Equity Bootcamp for promising students, we are offering a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, connect with industry leaders, and explore PE career paths.
Through two in-depth workshops, young talents will be introduced to the NAP Toolbox, including Investment Frameworks & Value Creation, Nordic Alpha’s investment frameworks, the BCSA model and its role in decision-making as well as the four core steps of hyper growth, namely how to create, de-risk and manage it, as well as how to capitalise on it.
The programme will also introduce students to various ways of working with the Green Transition in Private Equity as an Analyst/Associate at Nordic Alpha through meetings with both analysts and senior partners. Lastly, students will gain insights into working in a PE-backed company within the Nordic Alpha ecosystem.
We aspire to run the bootcamp on a bi-annual basis.
