NLSDays Nordic Stars 2023

Our jury of investors and pharma representatives has shortlisted the 30 companies that will participate in NLSDays. These up-and-coming companies will vie for prestigious awards and the chance to woo investors on stage at the event in Copenhagen on November 29-30.  

The selected Nordic Stars competitors are small- and medium-sized private companies from the Nordic countries, 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 two prizes, which will be awarded during the NLSDays closing ceremony.
