Tectonic

Last year we organised Tectonic 2025 in Ghent, Belgium. 2 days, 1750 visitors, 100+ speakers, a 100k pitching competition and innovation challenges. A lot is happening in Europe right now, but it's still not enough. Europe needs more ambition and innovation. We need need to be bolder. We have the talent, the knowledge and the capital. It's just fragmented. On May 18th we'll announce Tectonic 2026. And it will be bigger than before.

what we name is not reality

@OliverMolander @shipfr8 Amazing!

@FredrikHjelm4 Let's go! We should build a Europe where the best founders don't leave.

Stockholm will be the tech powerhouse of Europe. You can walk into a real startup event any day of the week now. Not the old invite only VC dinners. Actual community stuff. Hackathons, operators sharing playbooks, fireside chats, product and design workshops. Companies opening their doors and giving away knowledge that used to stay locked inside teams. Most of it free and fully open. Teenagers building their first company sit next to veterans starting their next one. The full mix is showing up. Sweden has always been good at riding technological shifts even when we don't build the underlying platforms. This feels like one of those moments. A new wave of hackers out building and spotting opportunities everywhere. The investing side is widening too. First time angels writing checks, not just the usual insiders. Global funds fly in every week. US firms move fast, local funds compete, and I've seen pre seed and seed rounds of 3 to 15 million close in days. The government is even looking at allowing private assets in ISK, which would open up private company investing to far more people. And all of it sits within a short walk. The internet and mobile generation with Spotify, King, Klarna. The digitize the physical world generation with Voi, Kry, Einride, Instabee. Now the AI first wave with Sana, Tandem and Lovable. A new era is starting in Stockholm.
