Umeå Tech Arena: Going Global

Tech companies from our region are doing extremely well internationally. That’s something to celebrate. Startups are recognizing the benefits of going global from the start. That’s something to encourage. Our lives and businesses are in constant connection to world-wide opportunities. That’s something to embrace.

And that’s exactly what we are doing at Umeå Tech Arena May 30, Going Global!

Welcome to Väven for an evening of inspiring stories and networking with new and old friends. We start in the Black Box as usual, with guests from close and afar. After the show (shorter than last time) we willl all go upstairs to P5 to enjoy a bite to eat, some vibrant music and startup energy.

Participation is free of charge. Sign up now, seats are limited!
More guests will be announced shortly.
