Venture Capital Investments

In venture capital investments, Finnvera focuses on development of the existing portfolio companies, follow-on investments and exits. Initial investments in early-stage enterprises are no longer made.

In accordance with the policy decisions made by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, responsibility for the development of early-stage venture capital investments, which used to be vested in Finnvera, has been transferred to Business Finland Venture Capital Ltd. Finnvera’s Board of Directors has outlined that Finnvera gives up its venture capital investments gradually and in a controlled manner.
