NBSCALE

The applications for the final round of NBSCALE closed on May 3rd! We’ll be in touch.

The Northbound Scaleups programme provides tools, peer support and expert mentoring for selected startups in Finland, Sweden and Estonia to enhance their conditions for scaling up and successfully entering new international markets.

Expected results

As a result, companies have gone through 2 parts of NBSCALE Program: a) Growth Program and b) Scale Lab. These have also found their market fit and implemented soft landing on their target market. These startups have raised investments and/or developed the business model and/or developed the new product/service and/or expanded the key team. These startups most likely will have revenue from their foreign target market during project duration, latest soon after project duration.

Apply for the programme!
