Ignite Nordic Summit 2027

Welcome to Malmö

Ignite Nordic Summit 2027 takes place in Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city, on March 18, 2027.

Malmö is a city of about 368,000 people in southern Sweden, connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge. Its startups, universities, established companies and public authorities work closely together, which makes it a natural host for a Summit about startup collaboration and for the 10th anniversary of Ignite Nordic.
