Nordic Innovation has awarded the contract for creating a Nordic Test Lab for Scaling to Rainmaking from Denmark. Rainmaking leads a Nordic consortium consisting of members from Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. In addition, they have global networks in USA, the UK and China.
"At Rainmaking, we are entrepreneurs by heart. We have founded 25 startups over the last 10 years. In addition, we have invested in and helped 450 startups around the world to develop their companies. We have learned first-hand how difficult it is to grow from a startup to a true scale-up, says Jakob Kistorp, partner at Rainmaking.
The Nordic Test Lab for Scaling is a pilot designed to help Nordic high-growth companies to prepare and accelerate their next stages of growth through access to long-term competence building and financing opportunities. The focus will be on the âbest-of-the-bestâ Nordic companies in the actual scale-up phase. The pilot will run for two years, involving at least 30 companies from different Nordic countries.
The pilot will launch during summer 2017.
