Nordic Fund Day, 5 May 2026
Dear Start-ups,
Nordic Fund Day is ready for the 11th time — and we’re taking this unique gathering of start-ups and investors to Stavanger! For the first time ever, Nordic Fund Day will feature as the grand finale at Nordic Edge Expo, on the main stage at Fiskepiren.
Over 100 Nordic start-ups have already matched with our global investor network. 12 new exciting start-ups will be selected to present their innovations. Expect energy. Expect action. Expect Stavanger.
Who is Nordic Fund Day for?
Get ready for the Expo edition of Nordic Fund Day, where the brightest Nordic start-ups tackling pressing environmental challenges meet our international financial network.
At Nordic Fund Day, it’s not about pitching or creating another start-up showcase. It’s about bringing the right people into the room – those who can drive real impact. We focus on quality matchmaking between founders and investors, ensuring that the most promising ideas are paired with the right support and capital to thrive.
The presenting companies will be evaluated and selected by our jury of leading investors, making this the perfect event to connect with like-minded changemakers and explore transformative collaborations
The goal of Nordic Fund Day has always been to bring together a curated mix of investors, founders, and ecosystem players who share one goal: turning great ideas into lasting impact.
