Prologue for the Cleantech Venture Day

Last year we put the corporate investors into the spotlights. We wanted

them to open up and engage in a dialogue with innovators and growth

companies. We also promised to walk the talk, and after one year we are

proud to launch a program to facilitate this dialogue: Corporate Venture

Program – turning innovations into business!

We can see a triangle here, and we want to learn how to play it:

if we can connect innovations with corporates with the resources

and market reach – and again with investors along with funding

and knowhow on how to boost the growth – the results will be more

business and benefits for everyone.

We are all here, so let’s make it happen!

Join us in turning innovations into business,

Nina Harjula
