There are Startup Weekends being organized in Stockholm, Lund, Oslo and Copenhagen in April.

Startup Weekend is a 54 hour startup event that provides networking, resources and incentives for individuals and teams to go from idea to launch. Get connected with local developers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Build Community. Start Companies. No Talk. All Action.

As a previous participant and organizer of similar events (Startup Sweden) I can tell you it’s a lot of fun, I promise!

Copenhagen

Last weekend was a very nice one. Went to Copenhagen with Helen and even though it was cold it was great. We took a history tour Saturday morning (History Tours) and got to see and hear much about the history of Copenhagen. We also visited Carlsberg Visitor Centre and Københavns Bymuseum.

I have been in touch with media about Startup Weekend and here are the results: http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.145855 and http://www.barometern.se/nyheter/kalmar/hjarnstorm-ska-foda-webbforetag(493170).gm

Startup Weekend

I have been discussing the possibility of hosting a Startup Weekend in Kalmar with a few people. It seems to interest them. It’s very tempting to follow through and so I will continue to evaluate the possibilities, talk to people and see what happens. Let me know if you want to participate and/or help out with the event.
