Startup Tampere Showcase 2024

Back and bolder than before, the Startup Tampere Showcase 2024 is gearing up to be the unmissable pitstop for every tech aficionado, founder, investor, and disruptor in the game.

In the backdrop of the pulsating Tampere region, last year's standout event celebrated startups galore in areas like Smart City Development, ICT, and Deep Tech. This year? Expect the stakes, and the pitches, to be even higher.

Picture this: 100 startups, from seasoned scale-ups to the freshest bootstraps, converging in a hustle of innovation, and 25 of them getting the spotlight moment on stage they've dreamt of. Between high-octane pitches, there's a treasure trove of happenings – speed-dating sessions that might birth your next big collab, panel discussions that challenge the status quo, and ad hoc meetings where serendipity meets strategy. And because it's not all business, wind down at the Afterwork, where clinks of drinks meet rooftop views, melodies, and memories.

For those who've got their finger on the pulse of Europe's startup scene, thinking of Tampere might just be synonymous with raw innovation, and this event? It's where the magic gets tangible. Whether you’re a startup out to shake things up, an investor ready to bet on the next big thing, or simply a tech enthusiast hungry for what's next, Tampere 2024 is your playground. Buckle up and mark the date; this is where the Nordics shine!
