Swed Fintech AB is developing tech-driven investor outreach and capital allocation programs to help emerging finance talent bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice through advanced, systematic learning. There is a critical gap between traditional finance education and the demands of a modern, technology-driven investment ecosystem. Many talented individuals struggle to translate academic knowledge into real-world investor relations, capital allocation, and relationship management skills. This problem affects graduates, career changers, and even early-stage professionals — limiting their ability to build successful careers and slowing innovation in the financial sector. Swed Fintech AB is tackling this problem by integrating advanced tech, systematic research, and global best practices into a unique internship program. Interns work side-by-side with senior professionals to gain firsthand exposure to capital raising, investor outreach, and allocator psychology, while also interacting with modern CRM systems, outreach automations, and AI-based research tools. We blend human skills with technology to deliver a transformative learning experience rooted in Nordic excellence and strategic thinking. At Swed Fintech AB, we believe humanity will thrive in a future where fintech, automation, and AI transform 99% of repetitive tasks — freeing people to focus on higher-value problem solving and innovation. Seeing how many young finance professionals struggle to access practical, meaningful opportunities, we were inspired to bridge this gap by combining world-class training with technology-driven solutions. We are motivated by a mission to transform humanity through excellence in frontier research and technology, helping shape a better financial, healthcare, and learning landscape for everyone.

Galeria 18 is developing a unique, Southern European-inspired gallery space to help art lovers and emerging artists find a creative community, explore new art forms, and showcase their talent in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. Our mission is to foster creative connections and make contemporary art accessible to all, with a hands-on approach to curating, exhibitions, and workshops. In the contemporary art scene, emerging artists often face barriers to gaining visibility and connecting with a community of like-minded creators. Many galleries are formal, exclusive, and intimidating, leaving talented artists without a platform to share their work. Art enthusiasts, on the other hand, are looking for a more relaxed, intimate experience where they can appreciate art at their own pace and engage with the creative process. This gap affects both the artist's exposure and the audience’s ability to connect deeply with art. At Galeria 18, we are solving this by creating a dynamic space that blends a gallery with a creative hub. Our gallery showcases modern art from both emerging and established artists, offering a platform for creativity, connection, and growth. In addition to exhibitions, we host workshops and courses led by the artists themselves, fostering a community where artists can share knowledge and connect with visitors. We aim to break down the barriers between artists and the public, making art more approachable and interactive. The motivation to start Galeria 18 came from a deep desire to create a space where art can flourish in a non-intimidating, vibrant atmosphere. I, Karen Dulong, have always been passionate about both art and entrepreneurship. With my background in strategic design and entrepreneurship and my own experience as an artist, I saw an opportunity to create something different – a gallery that not only showcases art but also acts as a creative haven for both artists and the community. This gallery is my way of supporting artistic talent and making art a more inclusive, shared experience.

Cosmic Vodka is a premium Swedish vodka startup that aims to revolutionize the cocktail experience by combining high-quality spirits with unique visual appeal. The key feature of Cosmic Vodka is its color-shifting property, which changes based on pH, allowing bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts to create visually stunning drinks. This offers a "wow" factor that few if none other vodkas can match, enhancing both the flavor and the aesthetics of cocktails. The Problem We Are Solving: Many premium vodkas focus solely on taste and quality, but they often lack an experiential element that can elevate the consumer's experience. For bars, restaurants, and cocktail enthusiasts, presentation is crucial, especially in an era where social media plays a massive role in consumer engagement. There's a demand for innovative products that stand out and provide a unique talking point while still delivering on taste and quality. Cosmic Vodka addresses this by offering both superior quality and an engaging, Instagram-worthy visual effect. Why This Problem Matters: Consumers, especially in the 25-45 age group, are looking for products that offer more than just functionality. They want products that create experiences. In the context of bars and restaurants, Cosmic Vodka helps bartenders differentiate their cocktails from the competition, making their offerings more shareable and memorable. For home users, it allows them to recreate a bar-like, show-stopping experience for friends and family, making cocktail-making more enjoyable and engaging. By solving the problem of offering a visually exciting and high-quality vodka, Cosmic Vodka caters to both professional bartenders and home mixologists who want to elevate their craft and impress their audience.
