TechBBQ, Denmark’s largest startup organisation, has received a strategic grant of €2 million (DKK 15 million) from the Danish Industry Foundation (Industriens Fond).

Since 2013, TechBBQ has become one of Northern Europe’s leading platforms for technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The flagship event in Copenhagen is a central meeting point for entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, and decision-makers from Denmark and abroad.

Funding Objectives

The grant has been awarded to the TechBBQ – Denmark’s Tech Lighthouse project, which aims to strengthen Denmark’s international visibility and position in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The grant runs from 2026 to 2028 and amounts to DKK 5 million (approximately €670,000) annually.

Support from the Danish Industry Foundation during the period 2023–2025 has been a key driver of TechBBQ’s international development. The funds will be used to attract international investors, experts, and talent to Denmark.

The 14th edition of TechBBQ will take place on August 26–27, 2026, at Bella Centre Copenhagen.
