Why
Finland's world-class research has a huge potential, but we need a more functioning deep tech ecosystem to blend growth talent, industrial expertise, and research talent in the Nordics to grow the next generation of deep tech unicorns.
What
Science Startup Day is an event designed to bring together the world-class Finnish research and the Nordic growth startup ecosystem. This national event is a second of its kind brought together with investor partners.
