Beyond Nordic
Scaleup Program

Learn more about the Beyond Nordic strategic growth and internationalization program initiative, powered by Copenhagen Fintech and supported by Industriens Fond.

What is Beyond Nordic

The initiative is designed for growth-stage fintechs and financial innovators that have outgrown the startup phase and are ready to scale globally, strengthen their organizations, and contribute to the competitiveness of the Nordic fintech ecosystem.

Through Beyond Nordic, fintech scaleups become partners of Copenhagen Fintech, joining a dedicated network of peers, corporate partners, and investors who actively support one another’s international growth journeys. Together, they form a Nordic community of scaling companies, built on collaboration, shared learning, and sustainable growth.

How it works

The program focuses on strengthening the Nordic fintech sector’s international competitiveness and innovation capacity; through three pillars.

Through quarterly check-ins and a mix of hands-on workshops, international exposure, and partner-driven collaboration, Beyond Nordic helps turn scaling ambitions into concrete results.

  • Growth and Readiness
    Tailored support to refine each company’s strategy, market positioning, and readiness for scaling, including storytelling, leadership, and board governance programs.

  • Market Entry & Delegations
    Structured international activities, including delegations to leading global fintech hubs such as Singapore, America, and Germany, that help companies gain market insights, meet partners, and explore expansion opportunities.

  • Peer & Partner Network
    Access to a curated Nordic network of scaleups, corporate partners, and investors. Beyond Nordic acts as a bridge between Nordic innovation and global markets, fostering collaboration that leads to tangible growth.
