In February 2024, Spinverse celebrated a significant milestone — 20 years of excellent service, growth, and contribution to the field of innovation and impact management in public funding. Founded by Pekka Koponen in 2004, Spinverse started as a vision to bridge the gap between technological advancements, market application and public funding. Today, that vision is still going strong, with a dedicated and diverse team of more than 100 professionals who strive to make this world a better place together with clients.

Spinverse offers a wide range of public funding services, but did you know that we also offer equity and debt services for companies seeking for growth with additional equity vendors and debt providers? Jani Peurakoski, Jukka Jokinen and the rest of the Industrial Investments team are ready to find the right funding solution for your company.  

Whilst welcoming the new year 2024, we are sharing some news on organisational changes at Spinverse and promotions of our colleagues. We also welcome a new colleague to Spinverse. 

At Spinverse, we believe that our success is rooted in the dedication and expertise of our team members. In January, we took a moment to celebrate the significant career milestones of four of our colleagues: Markku Heino, Joni Turunen, Eeva Viinikka and Katri Saarinen.

We reached out to Fredrik Nyman to learn about his first impressions and expectations upon joining Spinverse. Fredrik shared his initial thoughts and strategic vision for the company as a new custodian of growth and innovation.

At Spinverse, we are cultivating a culture that embraces the idea that learning never truly ends. People naturally lean towards a curiosity for new knowledge and an enthusiasm for our diverse community. We firmly believe that there's a wealth of wisdom to gain from one another. Therefore, adoption and exploitation of AI is not taking us by surprise, either.

Spinverse Group announces the appointment of Fredrik Nyman as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from November 27th 2023. Fredrik brings with him strong experience from his 15-year career at LINK Mobility Group, a rapidly expanding tech company in Sweden.

We have the pleasure to introduce our three Analyst Trainees Ville Virkkunen, Akseli Makkonen and Hugo Kallio-Mannila, who joined our Industrial Investments team, reporting to Jani Peurakoski. 

Building a consortium with over forty partners across the EU is complex, especially when you are combining the distributed R&D&I capabilities from corporates, SMEs, universities, RTOs and start-ups from 20+ countries. Patrick Halford, our VP, Digital Industries, discusses this challenge and our take on how to approach it.

We are inspired by the fresh perspectives and talents that each new member brings to the Spinverse team. Today, we are delighted to welcome two new colleagues, Mukesh Israni and Fanny Groundstroem, who will contribute their skills and experience to our collective success.
