5000 startup founders, investors, designers, developers and journalists in one place - how is that possible? STHLM TECH FEST 2019 is coming. On 7–11 September in Stockholm an amazing tech conference will take place, gathering industry leaders, pioneers and really great speakers. It's a great opportunity to meet inspiring people and promising startups. We will be there. Will you?
I would like to tell you more about the conference. I will be participating and representing the Codest team. Our tradition is that once every quarter we try to take part in such events. Personally, I see this as great value. Conferences like this one in Stockholm are a great opportunity to meet the most important people in the industry, exchange experiences and learn about the latest trends.
I am looking forward to the STHLM TECH FEST 2019 conference because the development of startups is a topic very close to my heart. The organizers of this event will ensure that it is interesting and substantive. The program includes celebrities such as John McAfee, Dr. David Sinclair and Nik Storonsky, who will represent Revolut. There will also be a discussion about artificial intelligence, a hot topic in the world of technology. If you are passionate about other topics like product design you will also find something in the program.
We like to write about startups for our blog. Some time ago, we published an interesting article about the Swedish startup market. Sweden, as a leader of the Nordic market, is often called Europe’s unicorn factory, and not without reason. It is a great place to invest, look for investors and develop startups. The entire startup ecosystem in Sweden is well programmed and new unicorns appear regularly for a reason. You may often read or hear that the European capital of startups is the UK, and recently much has been said about the dynamic development of Berlin. I fully agree with this, but I think that the Swedish market is also thriving and is worth keeping an eye on.
Look at this list of most-promising startups and companies, which is the best showcase of this market. I have no doubt that you will soon hear about their global success so it is worth knowing about their profiles and products.
