Kustaa Poutiainen<\/h2>

Chairman & founder<\/p>

\n

International success stories such as Kustaa’s are rarities. Acclaimed visionary and serial entrepreneur Kustaa understands how to both think differently and make the vision into reality. After first building Picosun into a globally acknowledged industrial company, a whole new era with Stephen Industries started as the company was transformed into a single-family office. Stephen Industries now invests into innovative, paradigm changing Healthtech, Deeptech, and Greentech companies with great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At Stephen Industries, I’d love to guarantee that big Finnish success stories \u2014 such as Picosun \u2014 could remain Finnish success stories: that our most innovative companies don’t have to be sold out too early. This is made possible with more investment cooperation and an in-depth understanding about the obstacles to such growth. What’s uniting our portfolio companies are our shared, strict ESG values \u2014 that run deep in our company DNA.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
