What's on
Where Nordic hardtech gathers.
Conferences, demo days and open houses across the Nordics. Past events disappear on their own. Organising something? Put it on the list.

A large founder-focused startup and venture capital event in Helsinki with curated investor matchmaking, startup pitch competitions and a broad tech and deeptech program.
Frontier Founders Fika | November ↗
Lightbringer hosts coffee, breakfast and conversation with London's deep-tech community. The link is Lightbringer's events listing, because I could not find a separate registration URL.
LIVE WEBINAR #03 | Your business pivoted. Your patents didn't. ↗
Free Lightbringer webinar for deep tech founders on reviewing a patent portfolio after a pivot: what to drop, what to fund next, and what investors expect to see. Speakers are Ola Wassvik and Jonas Åström.
13th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (ICMRE 2027) ↗

Confirmed next edition runs April 27-28, 2027, slightly beyond the 6 month window but the earliest confirmed future date.
