Tech Events in Copenhagen

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.

The software engineering side is anchored by a handful of active meetups (Kotlin, Python, functional programming) and a steady rhythm of product-management events. Venues cluster around the Carlsberg district, Nørrebro, and the canal-side offices near Indre By; larger conferences typically fill the Bella Center.

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.

NFW26 Startup Founders Lunch

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

Sit down and meet the international fintech founders you could be friends with

The week brings together startups from across Europe and beyond, and this is your chance to actually sit down with some of them. Over 40 startups are partnering and exhibiting with us at Nordic Fintech Week this year - some you will catch on stage, others through the side events they're hosting, and plenty right on the exhibition floor.

We think the best way to connect with them while they're here is over a shared meal. So we've put together the Startup Founders Lunch.

PS: if you're not a startup but a bank, an investor, or an ecosystem builder looking to grow your network of founders, you are welcome to join us too.

For 1.5 hours on September 23rd, 11:30 - 13:00, we're hosting a pop-up lunch. Seating is limited to 40, and pre-registration is required. We may not be able to admit you at the door without prior sign up and approval. Sorry about that.

What to expect

  • Lunch and drinks, on us
  • Time to sit and connect with founders and their teams - exhibiting on the floor, part of a delegation, or hosting their own side events this week
  • A short intro at the start, where we set the scene and seat you next to some very cool humans

Come with an agenda. Be it scouting for partnerships, meeting like-minded founders, getting advice on who to invest in, or figuring out who else to connect with at Nordic Fintech Week. Or come with none at all, just curious to hear what founders are building right now.

Either way, we promise it will be one of the easiest hours at Nordic Fintech Week to build a real connection.

Good to know

  • 1.5 hours
  • In person
  • 23 September, 11:30 AM – 13:00 PM CEST

Lab visit - Discover Magne: A Nordic Fintech Week Quantum Lab Visit

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

An exclusive morning session at the site of QuNorth’s Magne, built to give fintech leaders and others an early view of next-generation quant

This Magne is an intimate morning side event for fintech leaders, data specialists, investors and innovation teams who want an early look at how next-generation quantum computing may shape financial services. Hosted at the site of Magne, QuNorth’s upcoming Level 2 quantum computer, the session offers a practical introduction to what makes Magne different: logical qubits, real-time error correction, all-to-all connectivity and a full-stack environment co-engineered with Microsoft Azure to reduce the distance between algorithm design, experimentation and deployment.

For financial services, the value is not only access to more computational power, but the ability to explore new ways of working with complex data. Magne can become a testbed for problems where today’s methods are constrained by scale, uncertainty or combinatorial complexity — for example portfolio optimisation, risk modelling, fraud pattern discovery, scenario simulation, capital allocation, liquidity forecasting and privacy-preserving analytics. While many use cases will still be exploratory, the opportunity is to begin building the data foundations, talent and partnerships needed to move from quantum awareness to quantum readiness.

The visit is designed for a small group of prospective academic and commercial users with a foundational understanding of quantum computing and a curiosity for applied experimentation. Participants will hear how Magne is being built, what access may look like, which types of datasets and algorithms are likely to be relevant, and how Nordic fintech companies can start identifying meaningful pilots before the system becomes fully operational.

If you would like to know more about Magne, you can also meet Cathal Mahon at the Nordic Fintech Center Booth No. 41 at NFW September 24th between 13.00 and 14.30.

You'll meet:

  • Cathal J. Mahon, Chief Product Officer, QuNorth

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.

Join us for a night of security, knowledge sharing, and good conversations, bringing together the KBHSEC and OWASP Copenhagen communities.

This evening, we'll explore how AI is changing both software development and security testing, with two talks looking at different sides of the challenge.

Guardians of Your Security: A Simple Guide to Security in the Agentic SDLC Ernest Bartosevic Solutions Engineer, Semgrep
AI coding agents are changing how software is built - but what does that mean for security? Ernest will explore how coding agents can become security co-pilots, looking at practical ways to give them the right context, guardrails, and feedback loops to help enforce security throughout the development process.

Testing API Business Logic With AI Agents: What We Got Wrong First Yacine Souam R&D Engineer, Escape
Using AI agents to test complex enterprise APIs sounds straightforward until you encounter the reality of business logic and domain-specific behaviour. Yacine will share lessons from building AI-powered security testing, including challenges around IDOR detection, deterministic testing, and understanding domain context.
Alongside the talks, there will be plenty of time to share experiences, meet fellow security enthusiasts, and hang out with the community.

Whether you're already working in security, learning your way into the field, or simply curious about cybersecurity, come join us!

AI Masterclass - Decide, Defend & Deliver

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

This AI Masterclass is brought to you by TechWomen Cph and Women in Data & Analytics. Its designed for data analysts, data scientists, product managers, and designers who want to move from AI curiosity to AI judgment. This session focuses on deciding whether an AI feature is worth building, pressure-testing that decision before defending it to a real stakeholder, and seeing what disciplined delivery looks like once the decision is made. Through hands-on exercises and a live pipeline demo, participants sharpen their ability to evaluate AI outputs critically and apply a clear framework from decision to delivery.

Galina Zirneeva, Sara Mehrabi and Monique Marins will take you through the three interactive acts:

  • Act 1 – Decide
    A hands-on session building a repeatable rubric for evaluating AI outputs and a go/iterate/kill decision method based on explicit criteria rather than gut feeling.
  • Act 2 – Defend / PRESS
    Participants pressure-test their decision with AI acting as a skeptical stakeholder, sharpening how they communicate and defend a call before taking it to a real one.
  • Act 3 – Deliver / Pipeline Demo
    A live walkthrough of disciplined AI delivery, covering a working reference architecture for an AI development pipeline and where a human checkpoint belongs in the process. Most hands-on for data scientists, developers/data engineers, and PMs who build their own prototypes.

👉 Please bring your laptop to fully participate.
Please arrive at 17:00 sharp to ensure a smooth start.

The End of the CV: Agentic Hiring in Practice

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

Hiring runs on the same artifact everywhere: a CV and a job post, mined by dozens of tools doing the same shallow match.

The candidate never gets a say in how they're represented. The company never really sees what they're screening for.
Agentic hiring changes the shape of that exchange. When both sides show up with an agent instead of an artifact, screening stops being something companies do to candidates and becomes something both sides do with each other. A professional's agent and a company's hiring agent exchange calibrated signals directly.

We'll spend 90 minutes with Dana Aonofriesei — former VP Engineering at Trustpilot (she scaled fake-review detection through IPO), now building Tend, the agent-to-agent hiring layer — pulling this apart and trying it live.

What we'll cover

  • Why CVs are running out of signal
  • What it means to calibrate instead of screen
  • Hands-on: shaping how your own agent would represent you
  • Live: putting an agent to a real test on Tend, and seeing what comes back

Agenda (90 min)

  • 👋 Welcome & framing
  • 🤖 Talk: Agentic Hiring, explained (Dana)
  • ✍️ Hands-on: build your representation (in pairs)
  • 🔁 Live: calibration in action (Dana runs a real brief against a real role)
  • 💬 Q&A

When: Thursday 8 October, 08:30–10:00
Where: Republikken, Vesterbrogade 26, 1620 København
Format: in-person, hands-on. Bring a laptop.

Få styr på persondata, før du giver AI adgang

Copenhagen, 🇩🇰 Denmark

Kom og bliv klog på, hvordan du sikrer dine persondata, inden du lukker AI ind i maskinrummet!

Data Loss Prevention & Deletions (DLP-D): tre sessioner om klassificering, AI-adgang og oprydning.

Tre sessioner om det, der afgør, om AI bliver en fordel eller en risiko: at vide hvilke persondata der ligger i dine systemer, hvem der kan nå dem, og hvad der skal ryddes op.

Vi holder seminaret hos Data & More i SOHO på Flæsketorvet i Kødbyen. Der er kaffe og croissant fra kl. 08.30, og programmet starter kl. 09.00.

PROGRAM

08.30 Kaffe og croissant

09.00 Velkomst og ramme: hvorfor privatliv ændrer sig med AI

09.10 Session 1: DLP

09.50 Session 2: Copilot

10.30 Pause

10.45 Session 3: Klassificering, privatliv og sikkerhed

11.25 Opsamling og næste skridt

11.30 Slut

Hver session er sat til 30 minutters oplæg og 10 minutters spørgsmål.

SESSION 1: DLP, HVORDAN KOMMER MAN I GANG, OG HVILKE FALDGRUBER SKAL MAN UNDGÅ

Historisk set fejler Data Loss Prevention-projekter på grund af dårlig klassificering. Enten blokerer DLP'en for data, der ikke skulle have været blokeret, eller også blokerer den ikke for de data, man faktisk ville have stoppet.

Gennem mere end ni år har hundredtusindvis af brugere fortalt Data & More, når vi har taget fejl i vores klassificering. Nu vil vi gerne dele vores erfaringer med dig og vise dig vores nye DLP-værktøj, der er bygget på dem.

SESSION 2: COPILOT, BESKYTTELSE, FOREBYGGELSE OG OPRYDNING

Det kan være noget af en opgave at holde styr på, hvad Copilot har adgang til, og at opdage, når man kommer til at dele noget med Copilot, man ikke burde. Vi har gjort det nemt: vi forhindrer Copilot i at få adgang til data, viser dig hvornår du deler for meget, og fortæller dig hvad du skal slette.

SESSION 3: KLASSIFICERING, PRIVATLIV OG SIKKERHED, SÅDAN LAVER DATA & MORE DATAKLASSIFICERIN********G

Både DLP og kontrol over Copilot står og falder med det samme: at man ved, hvad der rent faktisk ligger i data. Klassificering er fundamentet, og det er også der, de fleste projekter går galt.

I denne session åbner vi motorhjelmen og viser, hvordan vi klassificerer data i praksis: hvordan vi skelner mellem personoplysninger, følsomme oplysninger og forretningskritisk materiale, hvordan vi håndterer de tvivlstilfælde, der altid opstår, og hvordan brugernes tilbagemeldinger løbende gør klassificeringen bedre.

HVEM ER DET FOR

CTO, CIO, CICO,, DPO'er, IT-sikkerhedsansvarlige og alle, der vil bruge AI men samtidig undgå et databrud-.

PRAKTISK

Data & More, Flæsketorvet 68, 1711 København V

Deltagelse er gratis. Der er et begrænset antal pladser.

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.
