Female Founder Breakfast: Building Europe’s Next DeepTech Champions
Building a DeepTech company is hard enough. Understanding when to raise, how to tell your story to investors, and how to find the right people in your corner shouldn’t have to be.
Join Sting and SEB for a candid breakfast conversation for women building ambitious, technology-led companies. During Nordic Tech Week, we’re gathering founders, investors and future DeepTech champions to talk about the questions that matter when you’re turning a big idea into a venture-backed business.
We’ll explore:
- what makes DeepTech investable
- why female founders still receive too little venture funding
- where the opportunities are emerging across AI, defence, biotech and climate tech
- what to get right before you start raising capital.
Meet the panel
Kristina Söderberg, Investment Manager at SEB Greentech VC — investing in technologies with the potential to accelerate the green transition.
Diana Henningsson, Investor at Navigare Ventures — backing early-stage, science-driven companies at the frontier of technology.
Anna Wiberg, CEO at CelluXtreme — developing high-performance, bio-based composite materials from renewable cellulose.
Gittan Schiöld, Co-founder at Curve — building scalable biomanufacturing technology for the next generation of proteins.
Expect practical perspectives, real founder stories and plenty of time to meet people who understand the journey. Whether you’re preparing to fundraise, already in the process, or simply building towards the next big milestone, come join the conversation, and the community around it.
