Nordea empowers business growth at Slush 2025
For the ninth consecutive year, Nordea stands proud as a main partner of Slush, the world's leading startup event. As businesses continue to be the cornerstone of society and the engine of economic growth, our commitment to supporting entrepreneurs remains unwavering.
In today's challenging economic climate, fostering growth is more crucial than ever. At Nordea, we see the bigger picture. We understand that every action businesses take, whether it's scaling up, streamlining operations, or making incremental improvements, has far-reaching effects. Companies aren't just running enterprises; they're generating employment, driving innovation, and bolstering the economy. That's why Nordea is committed to supporting businesses in their journey by providing the expertise, insights, and connections necessary for success.
Our Startup & Growth teams specialize in serving high-growth companies and those in their early stages looking for rapid expansion. We aim to build long-term customer relationships and be the partner that supports businesses to grow and scale throughout their life cycle.
"Startups are crucial to Nordic economies, driving innovation, competitiveness and growth. Our expertise and dedication support entrepreneurs both locally and internationally. With our matchmaking capabilities and four Startup & Growth units across the Nordics, we guide founders throughout their journeys. We believe that when businesses thrive, society prospers," says Nina Arkilahti, Head of Business Banking at Nordea.
At Slush 2025, our ambition remains clear: to make perfect matches between startups and investors. Our proven track record in organising successful Investor Speed Dating events continues, with the best startups invited to Slush on behalf of Nordea. These hand-picked companies will have the opportunity of a lifetime to pitch their business to significant international investors during both main event days at our Partner Booth.
In addition to the Investor Speed Dating events, our startup financing experts will be at our booth, offering support and advice. We'll also host our traditional Investor Day Dinner, providing a valuable networking opportunity before the main event days.
"What makes Nordea such a strong partner is how they turn big promises into concrete opportunities for founders. At Slush 2025, their work creates real chances for startups to grow and scale" says Aino Bergius, CEO of Slush.
Supporting entrepreneurship is at the core of Nordea's community engagement work, and our partnership with Slush exemplifies this commitment.
