Funding the future we want

The Nordic tech industry is growing, but diversity remains a challenge. US data shows a mere €1.90 out of every €100 for women founders and a shocking €0.39 for founders of color. Similar gaps likely hold back the Nordic scene. This lack of inclusivity has to change. 

At Nordic Fe:male Invest Summit,  we are dedicated to funding the future we want. 

We cultivate an inclusive ecosystem where diverse voices are heard. We connect female and non-binary founders with top investors, drive innovation, and build a future powered by equality.

    • Inspiring speakers in tech
    • Intimate roundtable sessions
    • 50+ Nordic female and non-binary founders
    • 70+ Nordic investors
    • Networking with changemakers
    • Moments for creative expression
    • Food, drinks, and afterwork
