Supporting the continuity and renewal of Finnish SME’s
Tahdo uudistua was a pilot program for 2019-2020 where we organized in co-operation with our partners Säästöpankki, LähiTapiola and Elo. Our goal was to reach over two thousand entrepreneurs, and give them the right tools to make their businesses thrive. This was a great way to bring your business close to a huge pool of traditional Finnish companies.
From banks point of view Kasvu Open is a great opportunity to help growth companies concretely. Nordea’s team has strong business know-how all around Finland and true commitment to support businesses. Kasvu Open is an excellent place to work together with other parties interested growth companies.

Finnish growth companies know what they are doing but they do not necessarily understand or utilize all the possibilities of digitalization when they are scaling their business globally. Kasvu Open makes it possible for us to meet thousands of growth-hungry companies which we can enlighten about these possibilities.

Nowadays we have to compete for our customers’ attention. Getting that attention comes down to the benefits we can offer them. Kasvu Open is a concept that has clear benefits and companies get easily excited about it. The concept is also cost-effective and effortless for buyers. In Kasvu Open you have your head in the clouds but feet on the ground and hands in the clay.

Innovestor’s wide networks show that they have ability to cooperate and it is nice to work with people who are capable of cooperation. In fact there is no point in working with those who aren’t capable of that.
