Valu8 has been awarded as one of the top 50 Nordic companies for the future by Techarenan Challenge. The competition aims at highlighting entrepreneurial tech companies based on a unique innovation or business concept with the potential to be commercialised on a global scale. The companies have been evaluated with a focus on scalability, sustainability and well-defined growth opportunities. Companies awarded originate from the entire Nordic region, ranging from FinTech to GreenTech, MedTech, e-Health, EdTech etc.
“This year’s finalists are one of the strongest groups so far in terms of both width and focus. It is obvious that Sweden and the Nordic countries are a breeding ground for exceptional entrepreneurs and companies. Many of these companies have already gained a foothold internationally and have created a strong position for further development expansion” says Omid Ekhlasi, founder and director of competition Techarenan.

The Nordic arena for advanced financial information is well developed and has been a great place for us to build up our platform. Our vision is to become the leading private company research platform in Europe in the next 3 years. We are now expanding in Europe and where we have fuelled in more than 60 million new European entities into our European platform so far.
