Lighthouse

The program is proud to announce its Fall 2026 cohort, featuring five startups from Denmark, Finland, Lithuania and Sweden that are tackling sustainability and social impact challenges through their innovative solutions.

We’ve successfully completed the 13th edition of Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV – the impact-focused track of our Nordics and Baltics partnership program – and are excited to share another round of strong results from this spring’s exceptional cohort.

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.

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.
