Nordic start-ups shine at Nordic Fund Day in Berlin

The international interest in Nordic start-ups has been nothing short of inspiring, according to Project Manager Emilie Christensen, at the latest edition of Nordic Fund Day. The event, organized by Nordic Edge, has established itself as the prime Investor Day for start-ups and investors addressing urban challenges. Its focus is on supporting Nordic companies with innovative, eco-conscious solutions for our future cities.

Nordic Fund Day, now in its sixth iteration, continues to be a thriving meeting place where over 50 start-ups and more than 100 investors converge to foster sustainable urban development. Since its inception in 2021, the event has facilitated investments totaling 250MNOK, and with the caliber of the 11 start-ups featured this time and the animated conversations resonating throughout the venue, it's expected that these numbers will only rise in the near future.

This gathering offers a window into the Nordic start-up scene, showcasing the region's remarkable talents, cutting-edge technologies, forward-thinking solutions, and a resolute commitment to sustainability and social impact. The selected start-ups and invited investors all share interests in various crucial urban fields:

1. Spaces and Places: Proptech, architecture, and city development.
2. Urban Energy: Solutions for energy use, distribution, and production in urban areas.
3. Mobility: Innovations in blue and green mobility.
4. Communication: Technology for enabling smart and connected cities.

Nordic Fund Day has evolved into a pivotal event in the world of urban innovation, fostering connections between entrepreneurs and investors who share the common goal of advancing sustainable urban development. It's an exciting space filled with engaging discussions, thought-provoking sessions, and a diverse mix of fascinating investors and start-ups, as expressed by Martijn Balder of 2bx:
