Nordic Founders Summit

16 - Oct 17, 2026 · Aurora Conference Center, Helsinki

Meet the right people at Nordic Founders Summit, whatever you're here for - investment, customers, a cofounder, or just a good conversation.

A two-day gathering for founders, investors, and ecosystem builders across the Nordic startup scene: pitches, an investor panel, structured 1:1 meetings, and an evening mixer. This is a sample event maintained by the Kohtaa team so you can explore the platform firsthand before your own event.
