Techstars Startup Weekend
Want to meet amazing people in the city, learn awesome startup methodologies and make a massive positive impact in your community while having fun on the way?

Why Entrepreneurship is Critical for People and Planet
Entrepreneurs imagine the future we live in. They dream about possibilities and opportunities, and build the world from their aspirations. Is it sustainable living, respect for human dignity and a voice, clean water and sanitation for all? To alleviate poverty or educate? Entrepreneurs are vital not only because of the economic value and jobs they create, but more importantly, as they are critical in creating the world around us - the world we want to live in and what we want to leave for future generations.

Curious about becoming an Entrepreneur?
At Startup Weekend Stavanger, we are an all-volunteer committee, passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship! And we are passionate that innovation has a positive impact on people and the planet.
