The DNB Industry & Venture Track

This session brings together Healthcare companies, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers and industry leaders from across the Nordic region and beyond. The 2026 program will examine how the Nordics can build on a strong record of science, innovation and company creation to develop a more connected and globally competitive Healthcare ecosystem.

The day will move from opportunity to action. Conversations will explore how investors view Nordic Healthcare, how Finland, as an example, is seeking to address the growth-capital gap, where fragmentation continues to hold the region back, and what companies need to scale internationally.

Healthcare Investment Access program (HIA)

We’ll also announce the eight new companies joining the HIA cohort—representing the best and brightest of Nordic healthcare, with the potential to become the next generation of success stories in the region. Watch them pitch live in the Lions’ Den to international investors.

The Healthcare Investment Access Program provides a practical example of ecosystem collaboration, helping the next generation of Nordic Healthcare companies understand how to communicate effectively with global capital sources.

The ambition is simple: move from great individual companies toward a stronger Nordic Healthcare ecosystem, and from conversation toward collaboration.

Separately, Nordic Healthcare is world class. Together, it can be transformative.
