SpaceX is heading for a $1.5 trillion IPO potentially the largest in history.
Meanwhile, European space startups raised €1.2B in VC in 2025.
Progress, yes. But here’s the gut punch: not a single growth-stage round was led by a European private investor. The US dominates exits.
The US dominates scale. Europe has the builders but where’s the capital to match?
That question lands in Copenhagen this August. #TechBBQ2026 #EmergingFromAgency

The Nordics hit $500B in startup valuation. Copenhagen is where the next chapter gets written.

Hanibal didn’t buy a ticket to TechBBQ.

He showed up early, worked a shift, and left with conversations most attendees never had.

That’s what volunteering actually is not free labour for a lanyard, but a different kind of access.

You’re inside the room when the room is being built.
You meet people when they’re still paying attention.
You leave with something a badge can’t give you.

We’re looking for volunteers for TechBBQ 2026.

Watch Hanibal’s story. Then watch what last year looked like from the inside.

If it looks like your kind of room — the link to apply is in our bio.

On May 19, Danish PM Mette Frederiksen and India’s PM Modi sat down in Oslo.
The agenda? Technology, green transition, deep tech, and innovation.
But read between the lines: this is a greenlit startup corridor — USD 6.1B in bilateral trade and 220+ Danish companies already on the ground in India.
The Indo-Danish Business Council is live.
The Nordic India Startup Summit is on the TechBBQ 2026 agenda.
The question isn’t whether this corridor is real. It’s whether you’ll be in the room when it becomes deal flow. #TechBBQ2026 #EmergingFromAgency #Copenhagen

Europe just made its most serious move yet to keep its best companies at home.
EQT - managing €269B in assets - has been selected by the European Commission to run the new €5B Scaleup Europe Fund.
Targets: AI, quantum, biotech, clean energy.
Entry point: Series B and beyond. First investments expected autumn 2026.
The founding LP list reads like a who’s who: Novo Holdings, Allianz, APG, EIFO, Wallenberg family.
The signal is clear. But the question remains — will commercial discipline survive the pressure to back ‘European champions’ over the best companies?

Come and join us on August to take this discussion forward!
