ABOUT THE COMPANYBOARD

Our Story

Company History

Nordic Business Group was founded in December 2008 by Hans-Peter Siefen and Jyri Lindén. The company operated until November 2011 under the name Finnish Community of Entrepreneurship.

Since 2009 Nordic Business Group has had two different areas of business: business development and real estate investing/development. As both businesses grew well above the Million-Euro limit, the two businesses were decided to separate as independent subsidiaries. The new company structure was formed in early 2012.

Nordic Business Forum and Nordic Business Investments became subsidiary companies of Nordic Business Group. Later on Nordic Business Forum formed a group which is called the Business Forum Group

Nordic Business Forum’s first little evening seminar was organized in 2009 and over the years its annual main event has grown to be one of the most significant business seminars in the world with sister events and operations in multiple different countries.

The Business Forum Group has grown from the company of two young entrepreneurs into a group of about 40 full-time employees in Finland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands.
