Connecting People to Make Deals

Startups, Investors, Corporates, Universities, Accelerators, Public Institutions

15 YEARS. THOUSANDS OF DEALS DONE.

Over the past 15 years:

  • Thousands of startups have pitched, met their first investors, or refined their vision at ARCTIC15
  • Thousands of investors have sourced deals, discovered new markets, and backed future category leaders
  • Countless partnerships and investment deals have started with a single meeting at our tables

What started as a small, founder-driven gathering in the Nordics has grown into one of the most appreciated and trusted startup–investor focused events in Europe. And yet, the heart of ARCTIC15 has stayed the same: real conversations, real opportunities, real outcomes.

ARCTIC15 has been there at the beginning of those journeys. We have thousands of stories from 15 years

Deal Room Meetings

For over a decade, Arctic15 has been known as the best meeting place to build relationships and make deals. The Deal Room Meetings are at the heart of it.

In our anniversary year, we’re bringing the Deal Room back stronger than ever: more curated, more focused, and designed to deliver what founders and investors value most, high-quality, outcome-driven meetings.

At ARCTIC15, the Deal Room isn’t about collecting business cards.  It’s about making decisions. No random networking, no empty conversations, no “let’s follow up someday.” Every meeting is curated, every introduction intentional, every minute built for momentum.

This year, we’re doubling down on quality over quantity. Fewer distractions, sharper matchmaking, and a format built to maximize meaningful conversations. Because one great meeting can change the trajectory of a company and that’s exactly what the Deal Room is built for.

If you’re serious about raising, investing, or closing partnerships, this is where conversations turn into term sheets. If you’re not ready to move, this might not be the room for you.

Take action, join us in Helsinki on June, 11th-12th. In-person.
