Nordic Private Equity Forum 2025

20 November, 18:00 - 22:00

Our Nordic Private Equity Forum is the annual meeting point for the Nordic and UK investment communities. It brings together fund managers, institutional investors, banks, and advisors for an evening of insight, networking, and strategic discussion.


This year’s programme examines the state of the market, explores emerging trends and outlooks for 2025 and beyond, and takes a closer look at the business of private equity – from value creation and diversity to the latest thinking on exits and IPOs.


Whether you are seeking new investment opportunities, want to understand the latest market developments, or wish to connect with experienced voices from across the Nordic and UK private equity landscape, our Nordic Private Equity Forum is the place to be.


Join us where where capital meets opportunity, strategies are refined, and the Nordic ecosystem connects with London’s financial centre.
