In our efforts to highlight the significance of this year's Women to Boards event, we had the privilege of engaging in a conversation with Maarit Vannas. We discussed her pivotal choice to step into the role of a Board Member and delved into her perspectives on the role that diversity plays as a compelling advantage in the business landscape.

🌟 Call for Applicants - Women to Boards 2023 🌟

At Voima Ventures, 30% of our portfolio companies have a mixed gender founding team. This percentage drops when it comes to non-male board seats and it is something we would very much like to improve upon! 
Which is why after two successful years, we're announcing our third (Can we call it annual yet?) Women to Boards event!

Did you know that companies with diverse boards outperform their homogenous counterparts by a whopping 15%? 💼📈 It's true! Research shows that diversity in leadership leads to better decision-making and innovation. Now, we're on a mission to bring more talented women to the table and amplify success across our portfolio companies.

If you're an experienced female professional with a proven track record in deep tech, industry-specific experience, or hands-on expertise in growth startups (CEO, marketing, branding, sales, legal, CFO, HR, business development), please join us in reshaping the business landscape and taking a seat at the forefront of innovation. If you have applied before without success, we would encourage you to try again. We recognise that a lot of growth can be achieved in one year

🔗 Ready to be part of the change? Fill in the form and seize this opportunity to be a driving force in the future of science and venture capital. Let's make strides towards a more diverse and prosperous tomorrow.

What do guitars and quantum computers have in common? 
They both need to be perfectly tuned to perform the best.  

Right now, scientists spend a lot of time trying to tweak and calibrate quantum machines. This takes away time that could be used instead for making important discoveries. 

Our portfolio company QuantrolOx has teamed up with Qblox to create software and electronics that work together to make quantum computers more efficient.

Join us in celebrating this innovative step towards a quantum-powered future! Learn more about Quantum Edge and how it's revolutionising the world of quantum computing  👉 📖

Make sure to catch our Swedish investment director Jenny Engerfelt at this years NORDEEP Summit. Anyone in our network looking to attend?

Our very own founder and managing partner, Inka Mero, provided some insight into the pivotal role of Nordic Deep tech in global progress. At last years NORDEEP Summit , she reflected on the significant evolution of the Nordic ecosystem over the past decade, leading to its present robust state.

Last year marked a significant milestone for the Scandinavian and Baltic startup arena, as NORDEEP Summit was the first event exclusively centred around Deep tech. Voima Ventures looks forward to attending again this year.

Our belief is simple: a thriving and inclusive society is the key to sustainable growth and progress. At Voima Ventures, our mission extends beyond investment. We are dedicated to enriching the fabric of society by promoting diversity and embracing individuals from all walks of life. 

In light of recent national discourse, we recognise the importance of addressing concerns that may hinder the collective journey of Finnish society toward a more diverse and vibrant future. As a venture capital fund committed to shaping a more inclusive landscape, we seek to foster an environment where differences are not only accepted but celebrated.

We proudly endorse the Suomen startup-yhteisö advocacy for a streamlined two-week service guarantee for migrants, which is but one pragmatic step toward creating an environment that welcomes talents and ideas from around the world. Notably, we commend Youssef Zad for his recent Kauppalehti article, shedding crucial light on the prevailing state of affairs in our nation.

Our stance is clear: we reject any language, behaviour or passive silence that perpetuates division and strive for a future where inclusivity and understanding prevail. 

Voima Ventures stands shoulder to shoulder with those confronting the challenges posed by evolving paradigms. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our founders, CEOs, and members who courageously champion an inclusive society, even amid the current political climate. Through collective efforts, we can pave the way towards a future where diversity becomes more than a notion— it becomes a tangible reality that enhances the lives of us all.
