Three speakers each gave their predictions for the world half a year ahead: the US midterm elections, the world’s reaction to the elections and what it means for the stock market.

The programme includes the status of the VC and secondaries market, as well as an overview of current venture programmes and portfolio developments.

Live from Silicon Valley: Meet Jared Heyman, founder of Rebel Funds, for a discussion on the significance of US venture capital in the development of tech companies from inception to IPO, given that the world's 7 most valuable companies today originate from Silicon Valley.

Yesterday we organised event #10 at Nordic Bloom, which focused on the investment and stock market for 2026.

We were joined at the event by Jeppe Christiansen from Maj Invest and Peter Garnry, CFA, CEO of Gesda Capital.

Event #9 focuses on Ukraine, which today more than ever needs Europe's help. We debate the new security world order and self-help in relation to both Russia and the US. We highlight:

• The 4th anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
• The new security world order - which in 2025 has unfolded, led by the US.
• Europe's help for self-help - a help that is needed in relation to both Russia and the US.
• Presentations from key stakeholders - including representatives from Ukraine's Future and the Defence Academy.

Event #8 focused on venture exits and value realisation for our investors. We emphasise:

• Venture exits with a typical horizon of 7-10 years - longer premature stages
• Fewer IPOs, but on the rise M&A and secondary activity
• Technology adoption rate and AI as key drivers of value creation
• Special characteristics of Exit options in Europe, the Nordics and Denmark

Event #7 was held as a brand new event as an online event. We thank you for:

• Great participation from our investors
• Insights from partners in our US private equity funds
• Assessing the progress of AI
• The long-term venture strength illustrated by a history of +40 years without loss

This time we focus on the fact that VC and PE in Denmark are often considered one asset class.

This time we focus on perhaps the most important calculation of our time:

• Climate change
• Global economic growth
• Increased energy consumption - less CO2!
• New energy types on the way, are they ready for investment?

What drives a group of Danish volunteers to spend all their waking hours travelling to the Polish-Ukrainian border and helping refugees to Denmark?

Anders Agner will shed light on US politics and the impact it has on today's economy and investment markets

Once upon a time, the world was normal with sustainability in focus after the 2019 climate election, low interest rates, and attendance at work as standard, while digital meetings and working from home were the exception.
