Join us for an evening of fresh perspectives, inspiring discussions, and valuable connections with leading professionals from the private equity and venture capital world.

This year’s Grand Meet brings together top investors to explore how the industry is navigating a rapidly changing world shaped by economic shifts and global uncertainty.

The evening begins with a keynote speech by Miia Kaye (Investment Director at Tesi), who will share why private equity offers one of today’s most exciting and impactful career paths. Following this, Anne Horttanainen (Managing Director at Finnish Venture Capital Association) will moderate a panel discussion featuring representatives from UB FIGG, Hartwall Capital, CapMan Infra, and Evli Growth Partners. Together, they will discuss how different types of investors are building resilient portfolios and spotting opportunities in an unpredictable market. 

After the keynote and panel, stay for a cocktail buffet and enjoy relaxed networking with the panelists, representatives from Evolver Equity, and fellow participants.

To help you make the most of the evening, all participants will receive an introduction pamphlet ahead of the event, offering a closer look at the participating companies and their representatives.
