At ARCTIC15 2026 – the 15th Anniversary Edition, the LP Summit brings together a senior circle of LPs, fund investors, family offices, pensions, GPs, and selected venture ecosystem leaders for a focused conversation on the forces shaping the next era of venture capital.
Built around the theme “The Capital Behind the Capital: Building the Next Phase of Nordic Venture,” the summit is designed as a high-level forum on capital formation, allocator expectations, liquidity realism, governance discipline, and regional competitiveness.
Positioned at the intersection of private capital and venture strategy, the LP Summit looks beyond market narratives and into the standards that increasingly define conviction: how capital is raised, how trust is earned, how returns are assessed, and how durable venture platforms are built in a more demanding environment.
While anchored in the Nordic context, the discussion is intentionally broader in relevance. The questions at the centre of this summit are the same ones facing venture markets globally: where credible liquidity will come from, how private wealth can participate more meaningfully in the asset class, and what scale, structure, and discipline are now required to compete internationally.
