Startup Events in Copenhagen
Startup events in Europe span everything from the headline conferences (Slush in Helsinki, Web Summit in Lisbon, The Next Web in Amsterdam, VivaTech in Paris, Bits & Pretzels in Munich, Wolves Summit, Latitude59) down to the weekly rhythm of pitch nights, founder coffee mornings, investor AMAs, and product-management meetups that every significant tech city sustains.
This page narrows the Copenhagen calendar to Startup events. It's a subset of Denmark's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Copenhagen is probably the most design-forward tech-event city in Europe. UX Copenhagen and Design Matters both anchor the global design conference calendar from here, and the local meetup scene reflects that with an unusually strong weight of product-design, UX-research, and design-systems content. Beyond design, the city has a healthy fintech scene and a growing green-tech event rhythm.

Startup Open House
Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark
Meet the Copenhagen Fintech team at our Startup Open House. For founders and curious builders looking to tap into the fintech ecosystem.
Copenhagen Fintech Startup Open House
We're opening our doors to the public on Tuesday, 19 May from 16:00 CET. If you are curious about fintech, thinking about building something, or already running a startup that wants to engage with the Danish fintech ecosystem, come meet us.
A lot of builders and teams only ever encounter Copenhagen Fintech second hand. This event is the direct version: meet the team, understand what we actually do, and figure out whether there's a fit... whether you're pre-revenue or already scaling.
You should come if you are:
- Curious about fintech and considering starting a company
- An early stage founder - pre-revenue included - who wants to understand what support looks like before you're ready for formal membership
- A founder looking to partner with banks or financial institutions
- A team that's been on the edge of our ecosystem and hasn't yet found the right moment to step in
Program
16:00 Welcome and arrival
16:30 –17:30 Short sessions covering:
- What Copenhagen Fintech membership means, and how to join
- How we support founders through our activities and when in your journey is it worth applying or tapping into
- Why founders choose Copenhagen Fintech Lab as a base
- How Nordic Fintech Center (our R&D arm) works with university partners (KU, CBS, DTU and AU) and where entrepreneurs fit in
- Nordic Fintech Week and how startups play a role here
