Speaking at World Expo

Written By Tobias Mathiasen

We are genuinely honored to be invited by the Nordic embassies and trade and investment promotion agencies to represent Katalysen at the Nordic Startup Day at the Nordic Pavilion – EXPO 2025 Osaka! If you are at the Expo on May 6, do make your way over to say hi!

We will be moderating the fourth and final panel of the day (“Investment Opportunities in the Nordics for Japanese Companies”), and we are extremely fortunate to be joined on stage by much more experienced friends and peers: NordicNinja VC’s Marek Kiisa, Leo Capital’s Shwetank Verma, Nordurver’s Helgi Hermannsson, and BusinessOulu’s Viera Karam.

Our goal: help more Japanese innovators and investors form their first or next cross-border partnership along the Nordic-Japanese innovation bridge.

The Viking gang is truly back together: Business Finland, Danish Business Authority, Business Iceland, Innovation Norway, Business Sweden, Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Innovation House – Tokyo, Nordic Innovation ❄️
