Upcoming Event

Join founders, investors, builders, and business leaders for Gothenburg Tech Week, a week of events across the city exploring innovation, startups, and the future of technology.

Founder Series: Willingness to Pay

Let’s focus on one of the most fundamental and underestimated challenges in building a business: understanding what drives customers’ willingness to pay. We are bringing three founders who have built fast-growing companies into the room, share their real experiences, and open it up for honest discussion.

Gothenburg Tech Week October 2026

Programme

Core Events

Three full-day events that anchor the week — each designed to bring together the right people around the topics that matter most.

Flagship

Tech Blueprint - Industrial Transformation

Tech Blueprint is the flagship event of Gothenburg Tech Week and the largest gathering of the week. The focus is on real cases, AI adoption and practical cross-industry collaboration that accelerate industrial transformation and create a greener, more competitive and more resilient Nordic industry. The programme features multiple tracks, masterclasses, networking opportunities and a curated expo area showcasing crucial technologies and hands-on applications that help organisations move from ambition to implementation.

New for 2025

Defence & Dual-Use Summit

Defence & Dual-Use is a new addition to the Gothenburg Tech Week portfolio, reflecting the rapidly growing interest in resilience, security and strategic capability, and the increasing need for joined forces across sectors. The event explores how emerging technologies contribute to defence and dual-use innovation in a changing global landscape. The programme brings together stakeholders from industry, research and the public sector to examine how civilian technologies can strengthen security, accelerate innovation and build a more resilient society.

Invite-only

Startup & Investor Day

Startup & Investor Day is a curated, invite-only event focused on one of the most critical phases in the startup journey: scaling. The day brings together carefully selected founders, investors and operators to create meaningful conversations and high-quality connections.

The program focuses on the realities of growth — international expansion, partnerships, funding strategies and the operational challenges that come with building companies that last.
