Event Details

Join us for a big blowout of creative impulses in Bergen – 1st to 3rd of february!

So what is this StartupWeekend concept really all about – you might think. Well, here is the recipe:

• A few handfulls of clever businesspeople, entrepreneurs and random enthusiasts
• One portion of geeky developers
• A dash of creative designers

Stir well together with some great ideas, divide into teams, sprinkle some mentorship on top and let sit for 54 hours in room temperature.
** WARNING: Temperature may rise as a result of high voltage imagination.

Now this is the part where it usually starts bubbling – we let in the judges! Some fine examples of wise heads will enter the scene and grill the teams for a few minutes, before they decide which team will be of the winning kind.

The results – in some cases a fresh baked business idea turned into a fulltime job for the team members, i.e. like Pido – from the last StartupWeekend event.

Oh, so you are already convinced? You want to sign up? Well, OK then – go go go! –bergen.startupweekend.org/tickets/
