Nordic Star Pitch Competition
20 innovative Nordic companies shortlisted for the Nordic Star 2025 Pitch Competition.
Our jury of investors and pharma representatives will shortlist the 20 Nordic companies that will participate at NLSDays. These up-and-coming companies will vie for prestigious awards and the chance to woo investors on stage during the event on 13-14 October 2025 at Svenska Mässan, Gothenburg.
The 20 selected competitors are small- and medium-sized private companies, performing research and development within health, medicine, or life science. At NLSDays, they will each give a four-minute pitch to an audience of investors, industry leaders, and conference delegates. The jury will also be judging the pitches at the event.
Besides the chance to attract new investors and business partners through the pitching and the conference’s partnering system, the competitors are also vying for prizes, which will be awarded during the NLSDays closing ceremony.
