We are excited to announce that Nordic Science Investments, an early-stage venture fund advancing research-empowered entrepreneurship across the New Nordics, has joined EstVCA as a new member!
Launched in February 2024, the fund has currently invested in 19 spinouts and startups, working at the crossroads of scientific disciplines and emerging technology, transforming frontier research into scalable, globally competitive companies.
Madis Lehtmets, Managing Director at EstVCA: “Nordic Science Investments is an excellent addition to the EstVCA community, enriching it with valuable knowledge and experience from the science-based innovation field. As EstVCA has become increasingly outward-looking, building relationships across Europe and beyond is more important than ever. Having a new member with a strong Nordic presence and partner-level connections adds significant value to our network.”
The NSI model combines early capital to empower teams with structured frameworks for collaboration between academia and investors, fostering modern partnership models and cross-regional best-practice development.
At the crossroads of new categories of innovation, such as intelligent biomaterials, computational drug discovery, and human-centered AI and automation, Nordic Science Investments backs founders who build at these intersections, turning world-class science into world-changing companies and strengthening the long-term innovation capacity of the New Nordics.
Mart Maasik, General Partner at Nordic Science Investments: “Across Europe, collaboration models are maturing that bring together the ambition to apply scientific discoveries, entrepreneurial capability, and venture capital. Since its inception, Nordic Science Investments has been committed to developing the regional ecosystem. We see EstVCA as an important platform to advance this work more systematically by aligning the perspectives of science-based entrepreneurs, universities, and investors, unlocking Estonia’s full potential and regional impact.”
