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.
