Grand Meet 2026

We are pleased to invite you to Grand Meet 2026!

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 gathers top investors to explore how the industry creates value and navigates exits in an era defined by volatility and constant change.

The evening opens with a keynote by Asseri Lehtiniemi (Tesi), providing a market overview of the current private equity landscape and setting the stage for the panel discussion. Julianna Borsos (Bocap), Eeva-Liisa Wäre (CapMan), and Paavo Räisänen (Maki) will then take on this year's theme: "Built for Uncertainty: How Investors Create Value and Navigate Exits in 2026."

After the keynote and panel, stay for a standing dinner and enjoy relaxed networking with the panelists and fellow participants.

Whether you are aiming for a career in private equity or simply want to deepen your understanding of the investment landscape, Grand Meet 2026 is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable insights and connect with leading professionals.
