Harder, Better, Funded, Stronger - Funding, Founders and Future Tech

This is an event where ideas become opportunities, connections are made, and new paths open up for entrepreneurs and companies. With a mix of inspiring presentations, success stories from the innovation ecosystem, and live music technology, a dynamic and creative atmosphere is created where the future can be heard.

On stage, funding, founders, and future tech will meet, while music will be a recurring theme that ties the event together where new technology and artificial intelligence open up new dimensions in the world of sound and experience.
