Nordic Unicorns: Scaling Beyond Borders

​First-hand insights from some of the Nordics’ most successful growth companies

​Join Mazanti-Andersen’s Venture & Growth team for a breakfast session during the IBA Annual Conference 2026.

​Through a series of fireside chats, we will explore the realities of international growth from three different perspectives: investing across borders, navigating rapid international expansion and managing the demands of a US-listed company.

​Our speakers will share first-hand experiences of addressing the legal, commercial and organisational complexities that emerge when companies and investments cross borders.

​We look forward to welcoming you for an insightful and inspiring morning celebrating Nordic unicorns in the heart of Copenhagen.
