New Nordics Pitch Competition is Back ✨😎
Silicon Vikings annually host the New Nordics Pitch Competition, a pan-Nordic and Baltic pitch competition that gathers the best startups/scaleups of the New Nordics.
The competition provides a platform for innovative startups in the Nordics and Baltics to pitch their innovations to a panel of expert judges, investors, and industry leaders. The regional winners will participate in the Grand Final, in which they will compete to become the New Nordics Grand Champion.
We are looking for startups in the pre-seed, seed or early-stage phase, with a minimum viable product at hand. To qualify for the competition, your startup must be based in the Nordic or Baltic countries and have a unique and innovative idea that solves a real problem and has the potential to disrupt or transform the industry.

“Latitude59 is very happy to collaborate with Silicon Vikings once again and open doors to the world for one of our fast-rising early-stage startups. The finalist from L59 Pitch Competition 2023 - the best among roughly 500 applicants who set out to pitch for our lucrative prize fund of up to 1 million euros - will represent the whole Baltic region at the New Nordic Pitching Competition 2023, taking place at Slush this autumn.
This collaboration is highly significant because it unites our region on a whole new level. The 6 New Nordic startups competing at the finals in Helsinki are already vetted and praised by their local juries. This means that the level of this competition is very high and all the startups competing know exactly what they are in for. Investors and startup community organisations who value being part of New Nordic Community should all be there to witness this event and tighten the collaboration together.
As the CEO of Latitude59, I’m very excited by what’s about to unfold, as our own prize pool has never been this high, which means that the quality of applicants who have stepped up is already higher than ever.”
