Bato-Road

27/04/2026

📹 All stage session recordings from Bato Summit 2026 are now live on YouTube! 📹

✅ Through these sessions, we explored how startups are built and scaled in challenging environments, what it takes to create real impact through entrepreneurship, and the future of the Nordic startup ecosystem.

✅ We also heard real stories from Nepali founders building in the Nordics, sharing experiences of resilience, adaptation, and growth.

✅ A key highlight was the startup showcase session where 8 Nepali founders pitched their ideas and received direct feedback from an investor jury on business model, market validation, scalability, funding readiness and more.

✅ If you are building or exploring the startup ecosystem across any stage, from idea to funding, the sessions give you a closer look at the full journey.

Thank you Euro pati for sharing!

स्टार्टअपको नयाँ सोच र जोस बोकेर पनि लगानी, सही मार्गदर्शन र नेटवर्कको अभावमा अलमलिएका नेपाली युवा उद्यमीहरूलाई लक्षित गर्दै फिनल्यान्डको राजधानी हेलसिन्कीमा एक ऐतिहासिक सम्मेलनको आयोजना हुने भएको छ । आगामी मार्च १३ तारिखका दिन आयोजना हुन लागेको 'बाटो समिट २०२६' ले युरोपमा रहेका नेपाली डायस्पोराको उद्यमशीलता यात्रामा एक कोसेढुङ्गा सावित हुने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ ।फिनल्यान्ड र सिङ्गो युरोपेली क्षेत्रमा रहेका नेपाली समुदायभित्र अद्भूत प्रतिभा र महत्त्वाकाङ्क्षा भए पनि उद्यमशीलताको अभ्यास भने अझै प्रारम्भिक चरणमै सीमित रहेको अवस्थालाई चिर्न यो समिट केन्द्रित रहनेछ ।

During Slush, in collaboration with NORDES, COGKNIT, Resimator, LUKLA AI, and New Heights with Bikash, we hosted an intimate side event for Nepali founders, professionals, and others active in startups and the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem in Finland, Nepal, and beyond.

Over 30 Nepalese startup ecosystem players came together to share ideas, showcase projects, and build meaningful connections. The energy, curiosity, and commitment to learning and supporting each other were truly uplifting.

This felt like the start of something much bigger, and we are excited to see even more Nepali founders and ecosystem players stepping forward and shaping the future of our ecosystem
🚀🚀.
