Overview

Sting Day is an exclusive, invitation-only event for 400 carefully selected guests. In 2019 they celebrated a significant 10-year anniversary with their biggest feature of startups from various sectors (i.e. Health, Fintech, e-Commerce, Gaming, Deeptech and Sustainability) as well as Investors from over 15 countries. Sting Day powers the highest quality of networking in Scandinavia and we’re grateful and honoured to be their partners for the last few years (and beyond).

Feedback

Great selection of investors and good opportunities to pre-arrange with the most relevant ones. This was probably the best use of my time at an event.
(Data Analytics Provider, Start-Up)

Good content, interesting companies, efficient way of meeting (startup) companies briefly, discussing with them at their stand, as well as bumping in to (other) Investors. I would love to be back next year!
(Venture Capitalist, Investor)

Relevant people, relevant matches, well organised and high positive energy. Thank you Sting Day. You were definitely the highlight of my week.
