Our accelerator program for Impact Startups is up and running in four Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The concept and goals in all four are the same, but coaches, speakers, dates, venues etc. are country-specific.
Fall 2020 we had our first pan-Nordic accelerator. The 2020 accelerator had a common theme, work inclusion, and includes Nordic events and networking as a part of the national accelerator programs.
In addition to the great website you're currently surfing through, each of our national programs has their own website. The country sites will give you detailed info of what's happening next, with who and where. There you'll find the application details, dates and contact information of your national Impact Startup team. Scroll down and click the maps to enter the country sites!
Our Nordic project's main partner in 2020 has been Nordic Innovation. Working under the Nordic Council of Ministers Nordic Innovation aims to make the Nordics a pioneering region for sustainable growth and works to promote entrepreneurship, innovation and competitiveness in Nordic business. More information on their work and goals can be found from nordicinnovation.org.
