Arendalsuka is approaching quickly, and we at Skagerak Capital are excited to host two engaging events on August 15th. We invite you to join us for inspiring discussions that will shed light on important topics in investment and local value creation. Don't miss this opportunity to network with industry professionals and gain insights into current issues!
Event 1: REGIONAL FUNDS – A SUCCESS RECIPE FOR LOCAL VALUE CREATION!
🗓️ Date: August 15
🕐 Time: 13:00 - 14:00
📍 Location: Sparebanken Sør’s premises
Active ownership through seed and venture funds has grown significantly in Norway over the past decades, resulting in successful companies and positive ripple effects. But how can local foundations and investors ensure that investments are made locally? Join us, the Norwegian Venture Capital Association, Menon, and the Sparebanken Sør Foundation for a discussion on how regional funds can contribute to local business development.
Event 2: UNLISTED SHARES: A LOST OPPORTUNITY FOR NORWEGIAN PENSION FUNDS?
🗓️ Date: August 15
🕠 Time: 16:30 - 17:30
📍 Location: Havgløtt
The Government Pension Fund Global wants to invest in unlisted shares, but the Ministry of Finance says no. Is this wise when value creation happens outside the stock exchanges? We ask how Norwegian pension funds can be part of the solution to create more growth companies in Norway. Together with NHO, NVCA, and Investinor, we will discuss why Norwegian pension funds are missing out on this asset class and the opportunities they are forfeiting.
We look forward to seeing you at Arendalsuka and sharing insights and ideas that can shape the future of investments and local value creation. This is a unique opportunity to participate in discussions that can influence the future investment landscape in Norway. Don't miss it!
