Tesi
Tesi was formed in 1995 by the Finnish government to support private equity activity inside Finland. Its capital originates from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy and from institutional co-investors. The firm pursues venture capital, growth equity, and buyout strategies. It commits to funds and makes direct investments across ICT, health technology, deep technology, and circular economy sectors. Activity remains concentrated in Finland with limited exposure to other Nordic markets. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Team size and additional offices are not disclosed. Tesi functions as a government-sponsored vehicle rather than a traditional limited partnership, which shapes its mandate toward Finnish economic development alongside financial returns.
