Frequently asked questions

Until what date can I apply to the Nova 111 List 2026?

The application deadline is December 14, 2025.

To which vertical should I apply to?

For professionals: Apply according to the industry in which you are currently working, not your role. Example: If you are a Real Estate Manager at H&M, you should apply to FMCG, Retail & E-commerce, not Investments & Real Estate.
