Nordic Innovation Fair


Date // 26-27 September 2022

Nordic universities create significant potential for translating early-stage research-based inventions into products and services which benefit society. However, to realise the full potential, it requires support from external business partners.

Therefore the annual Nordic Innovation Fair offers a free and unique matchmaking and networking opportunity by bringing together all stakeholders across the innovation ecosystem. Researchers and spinouts from the nordic countries will present their inventions with the aim of finding business opportunities for: licensing, co-development, research collaboration, funding and/or investment.
