Nanordica Medical is an Estonian MedTech company. We are pioneers in advanced antibacterial nanotechnology preventing and curing topical bacterial infections. The company applied for several international patents and develops its first product, an advanced antibacterial wound dressing. A pilot clinical trial in the largest Estonian hospital showed Nanordicas wound dressing cures wounds that can not be cured with other methods and causes fewer adverse effects compared to the current leading antibacterial dressing. Our long-term goal is to be a world-wide renowned global deep tech company developing and manufacturing a wide range of antibacterial medical devices and beating bacterial antibiotic resistance. We are open to collaborations with medical doctors for clinical use cases and pilot studies.

Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a nonprofit organization that delivers an objectives-based program for massively scalable, seed-stage, science- and technology-based companies. The nine-month program employs an objectives-based mentoring process to enhance the performance of technical founders who learn from the insights of experienced entrepreneurs, with the goal of maximizing equity-value creation. Founded by Professor Ajay Agrawal in 2012 at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, the program has expanded and now has 11 sites across six countries: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, Paris, Madison, Seattle, Estonia, Berlin, and Melbourne. The program combines 5 elements to help companies transition from science projects to scalable and financeable companies: - An emphasis on objective-setting, helping companies focus on what’s most important to their business - Focused mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs who have founded, led, and sold significant tech companies - Technical advice from world-leading scientists, engineers, and economists - Hands-on support from top business students, who embed within the company to provide business support - Opportunities to raise capital, including angels and VCs from Europe and North America The successful commercialization of cutting-edge science and technology achieved through the program has led to the creation of over CAD $35 billion in equity value.
