In 2021, SPENN joined the Mastercard Lighthouse Program at a time when blockchain was still met with skepticism, especially within traditional banking and central financial institutions.
Fidesmo serves 850+ issuers across multiple continents, while Tapster has achieved 100%+ year-over-year growth and expanded across more than 10 European markets.
Mastercard has announced the winners of the leading startup partnership program Mastercard Lighthouse in the Nordics and Baltics, consisting of two parallel classes: FINITIV, for fintech companies, and MASSIV, for startups in sustainability and social impact tech.
The program has launched its 16th round with 15 participants focusing on Denmark, Norway and the Baltics, in diverse topics such as cybersecurity, embedded insurance, payment acceptance, and AI-based solutions.
This spring 2026, the program welcomes a new cohort of six forward-thinking startups from Norway, Estonia and Sweden that are dedicated to sustainability and social impact.
This spring, Nets/Nexi Group will extend its collaboration with Mastercard Lighthouse by joining MASSIV as a program partner.
We have successfully wrapped up our 12th edition of Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV, the impact focused track of our Nordics and Baltics partnership program, and have amazing results to share once again from our strong cohort this Fall.
We’re incredibly proud of our 19 top fintech, fintech-enabler, and impact tech startups that pitched at the 2025 Mastercard Lighthouse Startup Showcase in Stockholm. During the event, we also presented awards to the MASSIV finalists and the winning FINITIV companies.
Growth minds, Northern Europe’s fastest-growing community for startup and scaleup leaders, today announced a new partnership with Mastercard Lighthouse
