This year’s Summit includes unique interaction with leading global technology companies; Google, Microsoft and Ericsson will during the day all present to all participants as well as have one-on-one meetings with selected Nordic startups.

The startup companies have been carefully selected to present an interesting sample of the many opportunities available on the Nordic market.

At the Summit we will among other prominent speakers also hear from Facebook, Amadeus Capital Partners, the leading International venture capital firm, and from SEB Venture Capital. Further the exciting Nordic startup Videoplaza will share their first hand experiences from their ongoing international expansion.

Participating will be public and private seed and early stage investors from the Nordic countries as well as selected Nordic and international venture capital firms, global technology companies leading Nordic start-up companies, institutional investors, and political decision makers.

The main purpose of the Nordic Seed Capital Summit is to create a forum for a dialogue between Nordic seed and early stage investors as well as between the investors and relevant international players.

The Summit is a part of the Nordic to Global Initiative, a broad effort aimed at providing a fast track to internationalization for young Nordic innovative companies.

The initiative includes the formation of a reference group of the leading public early stage investors, outbound international marketing activities and promotion of selected Nordic efforts for startup companies as well as the Nordic Seed Capital Summit.

We look forward to stimulating discussions on how to develop the Nordic early stage market and about the internationalization of young Nordic innovative companies.
