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, we have grown and evolved into the largest and most ‘hyggelig’ event of its kind in Scandinavia.

Every September, we welcome an increasing number of people from around the globe. Our annual summit expertly connects tech & hygge: it is designed so that you can 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!

In 2024, we will be hosting our 12th event, on the 11th and 12th of September.

More than just an event

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
