What is techbbq?

TechBBQ started out as a small BBQ gathering for tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs back in 2013, in a park in Copenhagen. Over the years, it grew and evolved into the largest and most ‘hyggelig’ event of its kind in Scandinavia.

Every September, it welcomed an increasing number of people from around the globe. The annual summit expertly connected tech & hygge: it was designed so that attendees could meet innovative and groundbreaking startups in the ecosystem, discuss the latest trends, network in a cozy and vibrant atmosphere, get inspired by trendsetting speakers – and enjoy a good old-fashioned BBQ!

More than just an event

Mission

Joining efforts for Entrepreneurship.

Vision

We want the Nordic startup ecosystem to be a catalyst for innovation, venture and technology.

Purpose

TechBBQ exists to support and strengthen the Nordic startup-ecosystem. We build communities and foster growth for startups and scaleups based on the Nordic values of overcoming egos, barriers and promoting openness, trust and inclusion.

Alongside our annual event, we are also involved in a wide range of projects aimed at elevating the Nordic and Baltic ecosystems.

• Startup Capital – an online startup-investor matchmaking event focused on connecting the most promising startups with the right investors

• TalkBBQ – a bite-size version of TechBBQ for a limited number of participants, which we are currently taking on tour to five different cities in Denmark

• TechBBQ Sapporo – our partners, JETRO and Sapporo City, brought our TechBBQ concept to the Japanese audience

• Founder Wellbeing Project – a project focused on mental health in the startup environment

• Impact Series – a project focused on promoting green & impact entrepreneurship
TechBBQ’s main goal is to support and strengthen the Nordic and Baltic ecosystem and connect it to the rest of the world. We foster growth for startups and scaleups. With us, you can expect grilling season all year round!
