Oslo Philanthropic Exchange (OPX) is a non-profit foundation that aims to contribute to a higher impact and increase of philanthropic capital. OPX has received support from Innovation Norway and IKEA Foundation, and has a experienced team of six, and a strong senior Board of Directors with them. OPX is expanding and you will definitely be hearing more about them in 2021.
- We are happy to welcome Oslo Philanthropic Exchange to our cluster. We believe OPX will strengheten our network on several areas. It’s a strong and competent FinTech company, with several achievements and a very experienced team. I am sure their do-good mission will be useful and insightful for the cluster community, says Atle Sivertsen, CEO NCE Finance Innovation
- We are pleased to be included as part of this cluster. NCE Finance Innovation represents Norway's foremost professional environment within the area in which we operate. We are really looking forward to be part of such a strong network, says Nina Skui Lohk, CEO of Oslo Philanthropic Exchange.
Putting Norwegian impact fintech on the map
The cluster recently mapped the impact fintech scene in Norway together with our other Nordic Fintech partners, Deciphering the Nordic Impact Map, which was launched at CPH Fintech Festival this year. As an extension of this, an international jury of experts in finance, innovation and tech selected the best Nordic impact startups within five categories. Oslo Philanthropic Exchange took home the prize in the “Financing Impact” category.
- We are extremely pleased to have a company working within this space in the cluster. Professionalizing fundraising for humanitarian organisations on a global scale, by developing a platform connecting NGOs with the global financial community, is an excellent example of a “fintech for good” company. OPX will definitely be a valuable addition and inspiration to the NCE Finance Innovation ecosystem, says Rea Parashar, Head of Innovation and Communication at NCE Finance Innovation.
