Tenity Climate Fintech Incubation Program celebrates graduation of pioneering startups at Latitud59

Tenity, a global innovation ecosystem and early-stage investor, is proud to announce the graduation of the first cohort of its unique Climate Fintech Incubation Program in the Nordics and Baltics. The graduation ceremony took place at an investor demo day during Latitude59, Estonia's leading startup conference, where these ground-breaking startups showcased their innovative solutions.

The Nordics and Baltics have been leading the way in sustainable and impact tech globally, with a vibrant ecosystem, strong governmental support, and numerous initiatives. In Tenity's soon to be released Climate Fintech Report 2023, the whole Nordics & Baltics region accounts for more than 10% of climate fintechs identified globally. In 2022, these startups have attracted more than $200m USD in funding, making up approximately 10.5% of global funding* in the sector (*funding data based on the startups including in the database & with publicly available funding information).

Tenity launched the world's first Climate Fintech Incubation Program in November 2022 across the Nordics & Baltics. The demo day, held during Latitude59 in Tallinn welcomed more than 70 investors, corporates, and ecosystem members to see this pioneering cohort graduate.  

“We are excited about the progress they've made since starting the program," says Anders Norlin, Tenity’s Head of Nordics & Baltics. “The startups transitioned from great ideas to much more viable customer, and investment, ready companies. Furthermore, stimulated by all key introductions into the Nordics and Baltics sustainability ecosystem along the program, and gained confidence from our workshops, we are very keen to continue our support as they now enter our international alumni network.”

One of the key ingredients of the dedicated program, was the insights, and shared experiences, from established and prominent climate fintechs in the region, such as Doconomy.

“At Doconomy, it has always been at core, to learn from others, and to assist those trying to follow us in our steps. We’re super excited to support everyone in their growth journey tackling the climate crisis,” says Mathias Wikström, CEO at Doconomy.  

For Tenity’s coming programs in the region, climate fintech will maintain as an important focus area, and where Doconomy will continue their support.
