We’re honored to share that Katalysen has been invited to take part in the upcoming Nordic Startup Day at Nordic Pavilion - EXPO 2025 Osaka, a major event highlighting the strength of the Nordic innovation ecosystem and deepening collaboration with Japan.
Katalysen's Tobias Mathiasen will serve as moderator of the final session of the day, focused on “Investment Opportunities in the Nordics for Japanese Companies” (May 6, 14:15–15:00 JST). This session brings together leading voices from both regions, including representatives from Leo Capital, Nordurver, BusinessOulu, and NordicNinja VC.
This special day is made possible by a powerful coalition of Nordic institutions: Danish Business Authority, Business Finland, Business Iceland, Innovation Norway, Business Sweden, The Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Innovation, and Nordic Innovation House - Tokyo.
At Katalysen, our roots in the Swedish–Swiss innovation bridge have shaped our approach to collaborative cross-border investments, and we are excited to leverage this experience to contribute to the emerging Nordic–Japanese innovation bridge. This is a development we believe will gain increasing strategic relevance in light of ongoing geopolitical shifts, and a trend already reflected in the growing interest from Japanese stakeholders in Katalysen’s own portfolio.
We look forward to engaging with entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders on this special occasion at EXPO 2025! 🎉
