TechBBQ Digital startup conference to explore theme of resilience

Tickets for TechBBQ, one of Europe’s largest startup events, are still available.

This week, one of Europe’s biggest startup and innovation summits, TechBBQ, will be taking place online on September 17 and 18.

The conference, which aims to bring together talent, knowledge and capital to support the Nordic startup ecosystem, will this year take the opportunity to reflect on the challenges the ecosystem has faced these past several months.

“Radical waves of change have left our tech/startup community off-balance, and we want to assess the impacts of these changes,” organizers wrote in a press release for the event.

In line with this year’s theme of resilience, the digital conference will explore how entrepreneurs and startups can stay strong as individuals, as organizations, and as a community.

“We will especially emphasize how we should and can be better at inspiring, lifting, and learning from each other for the ultimate purpose of empowering community collaboration,” read the press release.

“Radical waves of change have left our tech/startup community off-balance, and we want to assess the impacts of these changes.”

With future challenges in mind, the event — which hopes to draw in over 8,000 attendees — will look to explore the power of technology as a force for good, with the potential to solve pressing global and social issues.

Speakers at this year’s TechBBQ Digital include thought-leaders, change-makers, trailblazers and groundbreakers.
