Why France?
France is an attractive market for Nordic startups due to its strong economy, large consumer base, and innovation-friendly ecosystem. As the EU’s second-largest economy, it offers high growth potential, a vibrant tech scene, and a strong focus on sustainability—perfectly aligned with Nordic strengths in clean energy, digital transformation, and smart city solutions.
What's in it for you?
Building a relevant network in a new market can be time-consuming when done alone.
As a member of Nordic Edge, you gain access to curated meeting arenas where you can connect with the right people – helping you unlock new opportunities and accelerate your growth.
