🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇩🇰 🇫🇮 🇬🇧 🌟 Reflecting on our London Investor Panel! 🌟 Time flies! It’s been nearly month since our panel, featuring six extraordinary investors, lit up the room at the London Stock Exchange with their expertise and insights on the topic of "What’s It Like Out There Right Now and Why Invest in Diverse Nordic Innovators?" - which sparked an engaging discussion on the current investment landscape and the unique opportunities for investing in nordic startups. Our flagship event, during London Tech Week, focused on bridging the Nordic and UK tech ecosystems, fostering innovation, and creating opportunities for investment in these thriving regions, and particularly, diverse founders. As the Nordics winds down for summer, the UK is still mega-busy, and we are too - continuing our investor conversations from the event, connecting Nordic startups with more UK investors and growth opportunities, and planning new UK growth services and partnerships, to bring more opportunities for everyone - for example, if you are expanding in to the UK, take a quick look at our Nordic/UK Gateway opportunity: https://lnkd.in/dN_6BRzn 🇬🇧 - Get in touch if you need our support! 🌟 Once again, thanks to our panel for supporting the ongoing impactful collaborations: Hazel Moore, OBE, Chair and co-founder, FirstCapital, and Tech Nordic Advocates Global Board Member; Priya Guha MBE, Investor, Venture Partner, Merian Ventures, Board Member and Non-Executive Director; Alexandra Wyatt, VP, High-Growth Tech Companies, J.P.
