The Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) follows a collaborative, transparent, and strategically aligned product development model designed to serve the long-term needs of its member countries.

At the core of our model is joint governance, where the Strategic and Contributing members actively participate in prioritising development goals, setting strategic direction, and ensuring alignment with national digital policies. This results in shared ownership and a strong focus on public value.

We apply agile methodologies to deliver high-quality, secure, and sustainable solutions. Our development is iterative and evidence-driven, combining user feedback, technological foresight, and policy considerations. Through careful lifecycle planning, we ensure that all solutions remain resilient, scalable, and interoperable.

NIIS also emphasises open development principles. All core components are open source, fostering trust, transparency, and broad reuse across borders. Our product teams collaborate closely with member experts and technical communities, ensuring that innovations are grounded in real-world requirements.
