The voting is over, the jury has had its say and we have the list of the finalists of Arctic15 pitching competition next week!
There is a wide selection — 15 teams cover a very wide range of sectors and some have been out there for a couple of years while the others are yet to launch.
Having the event in Helsinki means there are quite a number of Finnish teams in the finals, but the majority of the finalists are from elsewhere – from our focus area between Iceland and Lithuania – with especially strong representation from Estonia.
For the winner, there is a 50,000 euros investment, and other prizes.
Making it into the finals of Arctic15 is a major milestone for any startup, these teams are joining the group which has raised more than 120 million euros so far,” said Jan Ameri, head of events at ArcticStartup. “The finals and the whole event is about fueling the growth of the new companies and this is a unique opportunity for these teams.”
Arctic15 will take place at Kaapelitehdas, the site from which Nokia and Slush have rocketed to the world fame, on June 2-3. PS. In a few hours ticket prices will go up again.
