NORDEEP Summit 2023, Espoo, Finland: Where Business Meets Tech and Science

The first edition of NORDEEP Summit, held in 2022, was a resounding success. Over 650 attendees from 20 countries converged for two days of engaging sessions and discussions, resulting in more than 5000 one-on-one meetings. By creating a conducive environment for collaboration and innovation, NORDEEP Summit empowers deep tech entrepreneurs and accelerates the scaling and commercialization of science and research from world’s leading universities and research centers in the Nordic and Baltic region. 

"As a humanity, we are still facing many global level challenges. We need big solutions, solutions that take a lot of time and money before making a real impact and changing our world. Nordics is a true hotspot for great innovations coming out of top-notch science and research institutions, and the real challenge is how to get those new innovations out to the market faster. And regardless of the technologies used, human collaboration is always the key to success. Last year's first edition of NORDEEP Summit really resonated with the key stakeholders and was a great success, so we are really excited to bring it back and extend the Summit and the impact of it to the next level this year," says Jan Ameri, Executive Chairman at ArcticStartup.
