Nightingale is selected as the Startup of the Year at the Finnish Finale of the Nordic Startup Awards 2018.

Nightingale, a tech startup, has also been chosen as the Best Health-Tech Startup at the event organised by Helsinki Think Company, said a press release.

As a national winner, Nightingale will compete with the national winners from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland at the Nordic Startup Awards Finale in October. The regional winners will then compete at the Global Startup Awards in China.

“The winning startup has an important mission – solving the global burden of chronic diseases. It shows you can do a lot in a short time in MedTech. They impressed the jury with real performance in last year,” sated the Nordic Startup Awards jury.

“It’s an honour to be recognised by the Nordic Startup Awards and to represent Finland in the Nordic Finals in Copenhagen. The past three years have been amazing for Nightingale. We’re in a position where we not only have a great product but also have a fantastic team,” said Nightingale CEO and Founder Teemu Suna.

The Nordic Startup Awards is part of the Global Startup Awards, the biggest independent startup ecosystem competition with a mission to find, recognise and connect the future-shapers of the digital age from all around the world. Launched in 2012 in the Nordic countries, the Startup Awards, especially the global events, bring together amazing ideas and best talents from five regions and more than 40 countries from across the world to celebrate entrepreneurial spirit and startup ventures.
