The Nordic Smart City Challenge is a pitch competition event supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers, looking for startups that can solve cross-regional smart city challenges. 9 startups will be shortlisted (3 per challenge) and invited to pitch their solution at the Challenge Event in front of members of the Nordic Smart City Network. Successful startups will win a mentoring session with the relevant project lead from the Nordic Smart City Network and will be fast-tracked to the Nordic Fund Event on the 19th February, where they will pitch their solution and have 1-2-1 meetings with investors. The event is a valuable opportunity to engage with relevant figures in both the public and private sector.
