– It’s inspiring to see the international interest in our Nordic start-ups, says Project Manager, Emilie Christensen.
For the sixth time
The diverse group of start-ups present at this Nordic Fund Day showcased solutions that will propel us towards greener, more environmentally and conscious cities. They are tackling many of the biggest challenges we are facing related to climate change, pollution, and resource exhaustion – and as we all know, the companies developing the solutions to cope with these challenges will be the once giving the biggest returns on investments.
Nordic Fund Day has evolved to be our main Investor Day for start-ups and investors solving urban challenges. It is Nordic Edge’s most visual activity towards our international network of investors investing in, and supporting Nordic companies with smart and green solutions for our future cities. We have been building this network and creating Nordic Fund Day as a meeting place since 2021 with the goal of bridging the gap between entrepreneurs and investors who share a common goal of driving sustainable urban development.
When arranging it for the sixth time last week, over 50 start-ups, over 100 investors and 250MNOK had been made in investments at previous events. After the run through of the 11 start-ups presenting this time and hearing the buzz of the conversations happening in the room, we are hopeful these numbers will increase even further in near future.
