Software Engineering Events in Copenhagen

This is the widest category on Brainberg, because software engineering itself spans a huge range of events: language user groups (Python, Rust, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Elixir, Ruby, Zig), framework communities (React, Svelte, Next.js, Vue, Laravel, Django, NixOS), backend architecture tracks, testing and QA tracks (ISTQB certification courses, mutation testing, test-automation workshops), refactoring and DDD circles, hackathons, and the long tail of "thoughtful engineering" meetups that don't fit neatly under any specific stack.

This page narrows the Copenhagen calendar to Software Engineering 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.

Sessions

Magnus Mårtensson, LoftySoft. Microsoft Regional Director and Microsoft Azure MVP. Protecting your mission critical code bases on GitHub.
Abstract to be announced.

Morten Christensen. Tackling Complexity with a Thin Platform approach using Azure Container Apps
StudyHub is a suite of Digital Products centeret around improving the planning of Clinical Trials within Novo Nordisk through the use of Agentic AI and an Event Driven backend.
This session will take a deep dive into how we have taken a thin platform approach across 7 digital products and used it to
- increase reusability of infrastructure as code
- increase use of pipeline templates
- strive for simplicity
- plug and play cloud infrastructure for software engineers, data engineers and data scientists
- not compromise on flexibility and extendability
- ease onboarding of new services
You will learn how we structure our infrastructure as code and pipelines with the consumer in mind, so they don't have to create the same resources from scratch over and over again, avoid the hassle of configuring access, and instead focus on delivery value to our users.

Marilag Svennevig. Building sovereign applications.
A 30 minute look at what it takes to build applications that meet sovereignty requirements, and what that means for the way you architect on Azure.

Saeid Dahl. Sovereign AI.
A 30 minute companion to the previous session, taking the sovereignty question into AI workloads.

Pierre Thoor, Onevinn. Microsoft Security MVP and Senior Cloud Security Architect. Your AI, their Attack Path: Securing Azure AI workloads with Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
Azure AI services are going into production fast, often without the guardrails that traditional workloads get. Public endpoints, API key authentication, over broad RBAC and missing network isolation all quietly widen the attack surface. This is a technical, demo driven session that takes a purple team view, pairing attacker simulation with defensive detection and investigation. It starts with Defender CSPM and how Azure AI resources are inventoried, assessed and pulled into attack path analysis, showing how small misconfigurations chain together into realistic compromise scenarios across identities, control plane permissions and AI resources. It then simulates AI focused attacks, including prompt injection and abuse of exposed API access, against a deliberately misconfigured deployment, before turning to how the Defender for AI Services plan detects the activity, how alerts surface in Microsoft Defender XDR, and how to investigate them with live KQL queries.

Rasmus Hald, LEGO. Building the foundation for AI, developer experience and platform engineering in the cloud.
Rasmus works almost exclusively with AI these days, across developer experience, platform engineering, and the question of what foundation you actually need underneath AI on Azure and AWS. In this session he shares how LEGO approaches developer experience and AI together, and what they are building to support it.

How to sign up

This is one single event published on two Meetup groups. Please RSVP on one group only, either Azure Usergroup Denmark or Azure Skåne, so that we keep an accurate headcount. Seats are limited by the venue, so if your plans change, please release your spot so someone else can take it.

20.30: Wrap up

Talks:
From Star-ish Schema to Vector Search (and RAG)
Elasticsearch had its core indexing and searching capabilities continuously improved over time, and with each new feature, it became popular for plenty of novel use cases.

In this presentation, we will see a progression of how Elasticsearch can be used, starting with its initial keyword search, up to the more recent vector search. Since the structure of the data looks similar to the Star Schema after importing it into Elasticsearch, I chose to name it “Star-ish Schema”.

As a use case, we will have an example of a wildlife database, which needs to be structured and indexed in accordance with the standards of today. Finally, I will present a demo with a RAG pipeline on top of the vector search, and prompt it with some questions about wild fauna.

Speaker: Andrei Micu, Software | Data | Machine Learning Engineering

From Question to Dashboard in 60 Seconds: AI-Powered Observability with Kibana
What if you could go from "why is latency spiking?" to a fully built dashboard in under a minute? With AI now deeply integrated into Kibana dashboards, that's no longer aspirational — it's how teams are working today. In this talk, we'll show how AI helps you ask questions about your observability data and instantly get answers as rich, interactive dashboards. We'll demo the latest capabilities including AI custom panels that generate tailored visualizations from natural language. We'll also look ahead at what's coming next for Kibana dashboards.

Speaker: Teresa Alvarez Soler, Principal Product Manager Kibana dashboards, Elastic

Public Funding for Fintechs

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

A Fintech morning session exploring how fintechs can actually access public and soft funding in Denmark

Breakfast Briefing: Public Funding for Fintechs

Public and soft funding in Denmark is one of the least understood levers available to startups, not because it's hidden, but because the landscape is fragmented: big pots that open twice a year, smaller pools that open every other month, and rules that shift depending on your sector and stage.

Join us for a morning session with Steen Olesen, Partner at Canute by Thursday and his colleagues from their Growth Advisory Team, working and helping founders on exactly this, to unpack how the system actually works and how to put together an application that stands a real chance.

We will cover the structure of public funding, the types fintechs most commonly apply for, extra considerations for deep tech and other specialist verticals, and practical tips for a strong application followed by open Q&A.

Breakfast is on us.

What we'll cover:

  • The structure of public funding: the bigger pots that open twice a year vs. the smaller pools that open bi-monthly
  • Which soft/public funding types fintechs commonly apply for
  • Considerations for other verticals with additional funding pools available, that you might consider as a founder (e.g. quantum fintechs)
  • Tips for putting together a strong application
  • Open Q&A

Program

9:30 Doors open, breakfast

9:40 Welcome

9:45 Public funding, explained

10:15 Tips for a strong application

10:30 Open Q&A

11:00 Close

Please register if interested to attend as we'll be limiting capacity to 40 people, to ensure there is time for conversations and asks.

Governing the Quantum Future: Launch of Quantum Technology Governance

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

Celebrate the launch of both Quantum Technology Governance volumes with a keynote, selected chapter highlights, discussion and reception.

Quantum technologies promise transformative advances in computing, communications and sensing, but they also raise difficult questions for law, regulation and public policy.

This event celebrates Quantum Technology Governance, a two-volume open-access project published by Springer and edited by Professor Mateo Aboy, Director of Research in Technology & Law at the University of Cambridge; Associate Professor Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci, Associate Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in Bioscience Innovation Law (CeBIL) at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen; and Professor Timo Minssen, Director of CeBIL at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen.

Volume I: Law and Regulation is already available open access. Subject to publication timing, the event is also expected to mark the release of Volume II: Frameworks, Standards and Ethics. Together, the volumes bring technical insight and legal analysis from multiple jurisdictions to the emerging challenges of quantum governance, making the project one of the first comprehensive explorations of how quantum innovation may affect both established areas of law and emerging forms of governance.

The programme will begin with a keynote address. This will be followed by short presentations from the first authors of selected chapters, highlighting perspectives on intellectual property, cybersecurity, export controls, public international law, international standards, ethics and the broader governance implications of quantum innovation.

The event will conclude with a reception and an opportunity to continue the conversation with the editors, authors and other participants.

In-person places are limited, and advance registration is required. Participants who are able to attend in person are warmly encouraged to do so and stay for the reception and informal conversations following the presentations.

The academic programme will also be livestreamed. Those wishing to participate online should email Gabriela Lenarczyk at gale@jur.ku.dk. She will send the livestream link before the event.

The research presented in the volumes was supported in part by a generous grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) for the scientifically independent Collaborative Research Program in Bioscience Innovation Law (Inter-CeBIL Program; Grant No. NNF23SA0087056).
