One of the highlights at DNB Konferansen in Oslo yesterday: listening to @anneapplebaum. She prepared us for the unknown. ”This is a transformative moment in history - with as much significance as the fall of the Berlin wall”.

Financial Times shared its predictions for 2026 and our portfolio company @1x_tech is on the list. Happy NEO year

Eilen illalla Slush 2024 myi loppuun, ja ensi viikolla Messukeskuksen täyttää ennätysmäärä kasvuyrittäjiä ja sijoittajia. Kiitos @katjaboxberg ja @talouselama haastattelusta.

Historiamme kolmas rahasto on nyt julki, jatkamme sijoittamista pohjoismaalaisiin kasvuyrityksiin 🌍 @PauliinaMar & @pppalomaki analysoivat Hesarissa 📝

Kasvuyrityskentän monimuotoisuuden edistämisessä on vielä tehtävää. Ja se on tärkeää, sillä alan monimuotoisuus näkyy konkreettisesti myös siinä, kenelle rahoitus ohjautuu. ✍️@reettahei & @katjatorop

Kovina aikoina on kiusaus kovettua. Ikään kuin Putinia vaarallisempi vihollinen olisi meidän oma inhimillisyytemme, vaikka se jos mikä erottaa meidät hänestä. https://t.co/IaCdtFBBWl

We had a chat with @Shifter_no about the Norwegian startup scene and our latest investments in Norway. Thank you for a great chat @perivarn 🇳🇴🇫🇮🤝 @PaavoRaisanen

When in Norway the deep-tech pitches during a conference are naturally called the "Viking Hall" pitches 🤩 Really enjoyed being part of the Switch Conference during @OsloIW. Cutting-edge scientific research from the Nordics has the potential to create significant change

Day 3 of @OsloIW and we're participating in @Norselab's Impact Showcase together with Maria 01 Members @reettahei from @MakiVentures and Soile from @instagridpower #OIW2023 #NordicMade

Europe has focused on building some of the most promising deep techs that tackle the world's fundamental challenges. In this @tech_eu column, @ilkkakivimaki outlines industries Europe will strengthen its position in over the next decade: https://t.co/Ed3z606uZQ

We are sad and worried about the current situation in our cabinet in Finland. A lot has been uncovered during the last few days. Minister Vilhelm Junnila’s nazi connections are against the Finnish Startup Community's values. We find it difficult to start working with him.

"Europe is poised to house the next wave of the most promising — and most meaningful — technologies and companies creating them." Our @ilkkakivimaki's letter published in @FT today 👏 @MakiVentures

En historisk dag! 🇫🇮Tillykke og velkommen, Finland 🇫🇮 #NATO @FinlandOslo @TeemuTanner

Aivan mahtavia uutisia Suomen startup-ekosysteemille: @MariaZeroOne saa sittenkin rakentaa kampuksestaan Pohjoismaiden suurimman. Lisää työpaikkoja, lisää kotimaisia yrityksiä, lisää mahdollisuuksia. Hienoa! https://t.co/opyKeIaZVX @startupyhteiso
