In collaboration with our Finnish partner, Haaga-Helia University, we are proud to present the Zebra ScaleUp program, designed to provide tailored support for mission-driven companies seeking to overcome growth challenges.

Companies operating in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), deep tech, health-tech, and green-tech that are developing impactful and sustainable solutions are invited to join the Zebra ScaleUp program.

The program is focused on helping companies achieve the following key objectives:

• Attracting investment
• Entering new markets
• Developing new products or services
• Enhancing business models
• Growing key teams
• Pursuing mergers, acquisitions, or taking the company public (IPO)

The program kicks off on October 8 with an ecosystem event, where you can gain inspiration and valuable insights on successfully combining company growth with sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies.

Companies participating in the event can apply for an exclusive Bootcamp, where 20 selected companies will receive in-depth guidance from specialized mentors on advancing their business and ESG strategies. The Bootcamp will feature over 20 top-level mentors, with half specializing in business development (finance, markets, product development) and the other half in ESG. At the end of the Bootcamp, an expert panel will select up to 10 of the best companies to receive personalized one-on-one mentoring to accelerate the execution of their strategic plans.
