Connecting Impact With Capital

Nordic Fund Day (NFD) is a meeting ground that connects impact-driven Nordic startups with leading investment communities across Europe. The event gives early-stage companies the opportunity to pitch their solutions to a curated panel of investors – and just as importantly: to build relationships, expand networks, and gain valuable knowledge.

Since 2021, we have hosted the event twice a year, gathering the brightest Nordic startups tackling pressing environmental challenges and our extensive international finance network. In total, we have already matched more than 100 startups with investors – resulting in capital raised, collaborations formed, and ecosystems strengthened.

We also take Nordic Fund Day on the road, working with different local partners in each city to build stronger, more resilient ecosystems across the Nordics. With nine successful editions, NFD has become one of the most sought-after events in the Nordic Edge ecosystem.

Who can apply?

Nordic Fund Day is designed for early-stage, impact-driven startups across the Nordics. If your company is shaping the future of sustainable living, this is the arena for you.

We welcome applications from companies in:

Agri- and Foodtech – Innovative solutions for cultivating, producing, and preserving food, paving the way for sustainable and efficient food systems.
Spaces and Places – Proptech, architecture, and urban development solutions that shape the way we live and interact in cities.
Urban Infrastructure – Including energy, water, waste, and digital infrastructure that builds smarter and more resilient societies.
Mobility – Solutions for blue and green mobility, enabling cleaner and more accessible transport.
Citizen Services – Technology that supports education, inclusiveness, and thriving communities.

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.
