01 · The gap

The Iberian defence market is buying. Nordic and Baltic SMEs are selling. The bridge is missing.

Iberia is in a procurement cycle. Portugal commissioned the NRP D. João II — €132M, the EU's first dedicated drone-carrier — in 2026. Active tenders span counter-drone systems, ISR drones, optronics, and border surveillance. Spain is matching the cadence.

Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are scaling defence output to 5%+ of GDP. Their SME ecosystem — proven in Ukraine, validated by joint Nordic framework agreements — produces exactly what Iberia is buying.

What they don't have is local presence south of Hamburg. Procurement officers don't speak Estonian. BD managers in Tallinn don't speak Portuguese. The deals stall in the gap.

That gap is what we close.

03 · How it works

Three steps from first contact to first deal.

Non-exclusive at first, exclusive after the first signed contract. 10–15% commission. No retainer. Fractio AB carries the contract; the manufacturer keeps the brand and the customer relationship.

For manufacturers

1

Discovery call

30 min. We map your product against active Iberian programmes. If there's no fit, we say so on the call.

For Iberian buyers

1

Brief us

Your requirement, programme, deadline, budget envelope.

2

Shortlist

Pre-vetted Nordic and Baltic suppliers matched to spec, with comparable factsheets.

3

Direct introduction

Within 5 working days. No middleman, no markup on the price quote.

04 · Why this works

Local in two markets at the same time.

01

Nordic residence + Iberian roots

Gothenburg-based. Portuguese citizen. Working Swedish. Native Portuguese and Spanish. The corridor is one calendar entry, not two.

02

Operator background, not broker

Seven years in Nordic GTM through Fractio. Track record growing a Portuguese B2B 20× in seven years (case study at fractio.se). We know procurement, distributor management, and channel economics — because we've run them.

03

Editorial authority

NSHQ is the only daily publication on the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia corridor. We write about the market we operate in. Procurement officers and BD managers read us before we ever pitch them.

05 · Featured manufacturers

Six Tier-1 suppliers, ready for Iberian conversations.

Pre-vetted, validated in Ukraine or under joint Nordic framework agreements, and explicitly seeking Iberian representation. Logos withheld until permissions secured — country tags + categories below.
