Maria 01 Impact Report 2025 Launch Event

It’s time to publish the 8th Maria 01 Impact Report at our Launch Event on the 12th of March.

The Maria 01 Impact Report is an annual publication and a comprehensive report on Maria 01’s activities throughout the preceding years. The report gives the reader a look into the Maria 01 Community, sharing insights from our startups, partners, and investors and the impact we as a community have on society and the wider startup ecosystem. We have compiled the data from the Maria 01 community as well as insightful perspectives on the recent development of Finland’s startup ecosystem as a whole — with the aim of using the report to spark discussion on broader trends and phenomena.

Our Impact Report Launch event features a panel discussion: Finland on the Rise — How a small nation built one of the world’s most efficient startup engines.

Panelists:

Sarita Runeberg, CEO of Maria 01
Anssi Rusi, CEO of Supermetrics, Board Member at Maria 01
Katja Boxberg, Business & Economics Reporter at Talouselämä
Miika Sivonen, Director of Strategic Partnerships at UpCloud

Expect to hear:

• Where the next wave of growth will come from — deep tech, defence/dual-use, AI, climate, or entirely new sectors?
• Why Finland ranks among the global leaders in VC funding per capita?
• International capital is flowing in — why now, and why Finland?
• Are Finnish companies scaling globally earlier than before — and what enabled this shift?
• What still limits Finland’s ability to produce more world-leading companies?

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Maria 01 Impact Report Launch Event!
