TechBBQ for startups
TechBBQ isn’t just a conference. It’s a founder-focused platform where startups sit at the center of everything. Built to accelerate growth and spark innovation, it connects startups and scaleups with international investors, corporates, and key ecosystem players through curated programs and tailored opportunities.
In 2026, more than 10,000 people will gather in Copenhagen for a powerful mix of high-quality networking, funding access, and actionable industry insights. Dedicated matchmaking, enhanced by smart technology, will make it easier than ever to connect with the right investors, partners, and collaborators. From pitch sessions and hands-on workshops to growth-focused initiatives, TechBBQ will give founders the tools they need to scale globally, all shaped by our signature Danish hygge.
On August 26–27, the ecosystem comes together again. And the future of Nordic innovation moves forward.
