TechBBQ, established in 2013 as a small BBQ gathering in Copenhagen, has organically grown into a flagship event, defining itself as the largest and coziest tech gathering in Scandinavia. The annual summit, held each September, transcends traditional tech conferences by combining global networking, trend discussions, and inspiring talks with the warmth and camaraderie of a BBQ.

As a company deeply rooted in the Nordic ethos, TechBBQ’s mission goes beyond event hosting. It actively participates in a variety of projects aimed at enriching the entrepreneurial landscape. The Startup Capital initiative serves as an online matchmaking event connecting promising startups with investors, while TalkBBQ takes the essence of TechBBQ on the road to different cities in Denmark. The global reach extends to TechBBQ Sapporo, a collaboration that introduces the TechBBQ concept to the Japanese audience. The Founder Wellbeing Project focuses on mental health within the startup ecosystem, and the Impact Series promotes green and impact entrepreneurship.

TechBBQ’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship is reflected in its core values of overcoming egos and barriers while promoting openness, trust, and inclusion. The overarching vision is to position the Nordic startup ecosystem as a driving force for innovation, venture, and technology.

The current thematic focus on “ENTANGLED” encapsulates the intricate interplay of technology, companies, and global intricacies. This theme speaks to the challenges and opportunities founders face in navigating a world characterized by hyper-connectivity. It underscores that decisions made within the startup ecosystem can have profound impacts not only on the immediate business but also on technology, socio-politics, environmental sustainability, and the broader landscape of business development.

TechBBQ’s goal extends beyond being a once-a-year event. It aspires to be a year-round platform, creating an immersive experience that supports innovation, venture, and technology. With a particular emphasis on sustainability and impactful entrepreneurship, TechBBQ envisions itself as a pivotal player connecting and strengthening the Nordic and Baltic ecosystem within the broader global tech community. In this way, TechBBQ provides a unique opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in an entangled startup ecosystem that encourages collaboration, creative problem-solving, and the pursuit of positive change.
