ScaleAble Matchday #3

After two successful events, the ScaleAble project is now heading to Tallinn on May 20–21 for its third and final matchmaking, connecting startups and scaleups from Estonia, Finland, and Sweden with forward-thinking corporations.

The line-up of international corporates include A2A, ACTIA, CRONIMET, Elomatic, Enefit, G4S, Hansab, Mainor, Neverhack, SAAB, SEB, Silen, Telia and more.

The focus areas for this matchmaking event are Securetech and Dual-Use, with the following sub-categories: Computer Vision, Critical Infrastructure & Logistics, Cybersecurity, Data & Information Security, Digital Defense Solutions, Digital Resilience, Drones & Robotics, and Operational Security.

You’ll find more details below on the technologies and solutions the participating corporates are looking for at the event — but please note: your innovation doesn’t need to be labeled as securetech or dual-use. If it fits, could be adapted, or has the potential to scale in that direction, this matchmaking is your opportunity to explore strategic collaborations!

Deadline for startup application: April 6
