Nordic IPO + Stock Market Day 2026

Nordic IPO + Stock Market Day 2026

On TechBBQ Day 1 - Bella Center - Copenhagen

Investors, potential IPO candidates, and the stock market ecosystem

On the 26th of August 2026 — at TechBBQ — we invite companies and investors to join this event, which includes both networking and great speakers on stage.

It's for individuals with an interest in IPOs and the stock market. We have limited seats, so please don't wait to register for your ticket.

TechBBQ has become the heartbeat of the startup and innovation ecosystem in Scandinavia. Last year, more than 10,000 people attended the two-day conference in Copenhagen, including 1,200 investors and 400 speakers.

The Nordic IPO + Stock Market Day at TechBBQ will connect people and bring focus to the growth journey on the capital markets.

In Europe, venture capital is often the default choice for scaleups and growth companies when raising capital for expansion, and much of the ecosystem only talks about the journey towards and access to venture capital.

Becoming a publicly listed company is considered less interesting by many. The reason is often a lack of stock market knowledge and the difficulty of attracting investors to European stock markets. The number of publicly listed companies in many European countries has been declining over the last 20 years, and particularly over the last three years, we have seen many delistings. The IPO market is opening slowly, and countries like Sweden had 19 IPOs in 2025.

Why list your company?

When companies go public, they can raise capital by issuing shares, allowing them to invest, expand, and innovate locally. This can lead to economic growth, job creation, and technological advancements. Furthermore, stock markets enable more people to invest in the sector and simultaneously increase the opportunity for companies to be anchored in Europe, scale, and create European jobs.

The alternative for successful growth companies is to be sold to American or Asian owners before they have a chance to scale in Europe — when they could just as well be listed on one of the many European stock exchanges.

Why should you attend Nordic IPO + Stock Market Day?

1

You run an startup or growth company:

Learn from other companies why they chose to do an IPO. Meet and connect with investors, the ecosystem around the stock market and listed companies.

2

You are a venture fund, family office, business angel or a professional investor:

Meet interesting companies, potential deals and get inspired to consider if some of your portfolio companies can use an IPO as exit or use an IPO to finance future growth, get more publicity and a larger return in the years after the IPO.

3

You are a part of the stock market ecosystem:

Meet companies, investors, and other stakeholders to strengthen your network and your business.

Please note that this event is not intended for retail investors

Why list your company?

Going public lets companies raise capital by issuing shares, fueling local investment, expansion, and innovation — driving economic growth, jobs, and technological progress. Stock markets also let more people invest in the sector while keeping companies anchored in Europe to scale and create European jobs.

Otherwise, successful growth companies risk being sold to American or Asian owners before they can scale in Europe — when they could just as well list on one of Europe's many stock exchanges.
