Latitude59 Singapore: Exploring New Nordics

Latitude59 returns to Asia. This time, shining spotlight on the New Nordics as a part of our mission to connect bold founders, ambitious investors, and frontier ideas. We stand for a region where capital and innovation meet at scale. And we’re bringing our community along. Are you in?

This Latitude59 x Singapore edition is brought to life in collaboration with SWITCH and the Embassy of Estonia in Singapore. Join us for an exclusive gathering exploring fresh venture opportunities, and get a preview of our dedicated LP Track at Latitude59 Tallinn, in May 2026.

Latitude59 x Singapore!

A #globalvillage of innovation

Discover the Magic of New Nordics

As SWITCH connects the world’s brightest innovators, Latitude59 invites friends of Estonia and fans of the Nordics to step into the New Nordics: a region where bold ideas, people-first innovation, and a culture of trust have created an outsized number of unicorns and breakthrough companies.

This is not just another cocktail evening — it’s your gateway to new partnerships and a region rewriting the rules of venture capital.

Shake your comfort zone & expect the unexpected

Inside the New Nordics Playbook

The New Nordics deliver outsized impact: unicorns, breakthroughs, and global scale. More and more, Asia’s investors are seeing the power behind it.
Business moves fast because reliability and transparency are the norm. From cleantech to responsible AI, impact is baked into innovation, public and private sectors work seamlessly together and small markets demand global ambition from day one.
From Estonia’s digital society to unicorn builders, the pace is unmatched.
