Region-wide networking

Through a calendar of events, both in person and online, the Level 20 Nordics committees provide development, support and networking opportunities for their members. Members and sponsors in the four countries are connected to the Level 20 Nordics network and can access the mentoring programme, which covers the whole region and is currently in its third year.

The opportunity to connect with other women working in PE across the region is fantastic. Individually, we may each operate in relatively small countries, but together we’re able to leverage a wealth of knowledge and experience.
