Nordic Impact Week Silicon Valley — Sunday Hike & Talk

​🥾 Nordic Impact Week Silicon Valley — Sunday Hike & Talk

​Welcome to San Francisco, Katja Kolehmainen! 🇫🇮🇺🇸

​We’re kicking off Nordic Impact Week Silicon Valley with a Sunday Hike & Talk — combining one of San Francisco’s most beautiful walks with conversations about investment, research, and international collaboration.

​1.30 - 3.30 PM.

​Our special guest is Katja Kolehmainen, Research Director at the Finland Investment Institute, University of Vaasa.

​Katja is in Silicon Valley to meet investors, VCs, funds, and innovation leaders, bring Finnish investment research into an international dialogue, and explore a simple but important question:

​What can Finland learn from one of the world’s leading innovation and investment ecosystems — and what can Silicon Valley learn from Finland?

​Finlands Investment Institute

​We start at the Legion of Honor and head to Lands End, with spectacular views of the Pacific, the Marin Headlands, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

​This is Nordic Impact Week at its best: walk, talk, connect, and exchange ideas — outside the conference room.

​🇫🇮 Finland meets Silicon Valley
💰 Investors • VCs • Funds
🔬 Research meets real-world investment
🌉 Golden Gate views
🤝 New connections and new perspectives

​Join us for the walk — and the conversation.

​Organizer: CleanTech Region Group and Nordic Impact Week Silicon Valley.
