Who is Finland’s bravest entrepreneur of 2026? 

In Finland, entrepreneurship often requires more than a good idea – it requires courage. The Entrepreneur Fund is once again looking for a business owner who has dared to follow their own path and make decisions that move their company forward in uncertain times. The search for Finland’s Bravest Entrepreneur 2026 is now under way.

Finnish entrepreneurship is full of stories: companies that begin with a small idea, bold changes of direction and entrepreneurs who dare to build something entirely new.

Often it is precisely these courageous choices that move companies forward and inspire other entrepreneurs as well.

To highlight such stories, the Entrepreneur Fund is once again organising the Finland’s Bravest Entrepreneur competition – now for the eleventh time.

The competition seeks a business owner who has shown exceptional courage, for example in turning a new idea into reality, transforming difficult circumstances into growth or establishing a completely new direction for their company.

Do you know a business owner who deserves recognition?

Do you know an imaginative entrepreneur who has boldly followed their own path? Nominate them for the competition – or enter yourself. Nominations will be accepted until 5 Apr. 2026.

Everyone who submits a nomination will be entered into a draw for three €100 gift cards from the K Group.

The finalists will be announced in April 2026.
