Why Urban and Food?
By 2050, 75% of the world’s population will live in cities, making them key arenas for addressing global sustainability challenges. Cities are not just the largest marketplaces but also hubs for innovation, requiring solutions that optimize infrastructure, reduce waste, and create smarter, more sustainable urban environments.
Feeding a growing population sustainably is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Agri- and foodtech innovations are crucial for transforming how we produce, distribute, and manage food, focusing on efficiency, reducing waste, and creating resilient supply chains. These solutions are vital to ensure food security and reduce environmental impact.
At Nordic Fund Day, we aim to connect visionary investors with Nordic founders addressing these critical challenges, ensuring that capital supports sustainable innovations and exceptional teams in both verticals.
