Definition

Stockholm Tech Show is an annual two-day B2B technology exhibition and conference held at Kistamässan in Stockholm. It brings together professionals, buyers, and vendors working across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, big data, datacentre infrastructure, and DevOps. The event operates as the principal large-scale technology gathering in the Nordic market, with over 20,000 visitors attending according to the organiser. The creation year is not publicly documented.

When and where in 2026

The 2026 edition runs on 26 and 27 May at Kistamässan in Stockholm, Sweden. No edition number has been disclosed for this cycle. The May timing places the event in the spring conference season, when Nordic technology procurement and vendor evaluation activity is typically in full swing ahead of summer. No specific edition theme for 2026 has been published as of verification.

Where Stockholm Tech Show sits in the Nordic technology calendar

Stockholm anchors the Nordic technology events circuit, and the spring window at Kistamässan places Stockholm Tech Show ahead of the summer pause that characterises Scandinavian professional calendars from late June through August. Events of this scale and thematic breadth are infrequent in the Nordic market, which makes the May slot strategically positioned for vendors seeking concentrated access to buyers across multiple technology verticals in a single venue.

Who attends Stockholm Tech Show

Who is Stockholm Tech Show NOT designed for?

Professionals whose work is entirely outside the six featured technology domains (AI, big data, cloud, cybersecurity, datacentres, DevOps) will find limited relevance on the floor. The event targets technology practitioners and buyers rather than financial or capital markets professionals; private equity investors, venture capitalists, and limited partners attending in search of deal flow or co-investment sourcing are not the intended audience and are unlikely to find a structured programme serving those goals. Organisations with highly niche or deep-specialism requirements in a single vertical (for example, operational technology security or quantum computing) may find the breadth of the programme works against depth of coverage in their specific area. Finally, professionals based outside the Nordic and Northern European region who are seeking international geographic diversity in their event calendar will find Stockholm Tech Show oriented primarily toward the Scandinavian market.

What the Stockholm Tech Show format includes

The full format composition is not documented in detail as of verification, but the event operates across at least the following components:

The number of stages, special formats (such as closed roundtables, hosted buyer programmes, or innovation showcases), and any structured B2B matchmaking infrastructure are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The raw organiser description references over 250 exhibitors and speakers, though this figure is not independently verified.

What the Stockholm Tech Show programme covers

The published thematic scope spans six technology domains. Sessions address artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on applied AI and enterprise adoption. Big data topics cover data architecture, analytics pipelines, and data governance. Cloud computing covers infrastructure strategy, multi-cloud operations, and migration. Cybersecurity programming addresses threat intelligence, zero-trust architectures, compliance, and incident response. Datacentre content focuses on infrastructure design, energy efficiency, and capacity planning. DevOps sessions cover continuous integration, delivery pipelines, platform engineering, and site reliability. Sustainability in technology is referenced in the organiser's narrative description, though it does not appear in the formal thematic taxonomy.

FAQ · Identity and audience

What is Stockholm Tech Show and who is it for?

Stockholm Tech Show is an annual two-day B2B technology event held at Kistamässan in Stockholm. It serves technology professionals, buyers, and vendors across six domains: AI, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, datacentre, and DevOps. The audience spans enterprise technology teams, software vendors, infrastructure providers, and Nordic public-sector organisations.

How large is the event?

According to the organiser, the event draws 20,000 visitors. The number of exhibitors and speakers is not independently verified; the organiser's own description references more than 250 exhibitors and speakers combined. Attendance figures by professional category or nationality are not publicly disclosed.

Is Stockholm Tech Show sector-specific or cross-vertical?

The event is cross-vertical within technology. It does not focus on a single industry or use case. The thematic structure spans six distinct technology domains, which means the programme runs in parallel across multiple tracks. Professionals seeking concentrated depth in one niche should evaluate the programme schedule in advance to assess whether sufficient content exists in their specific area.

When does attending Stockholm Tech Show not make sense?

Practitioners outside the six featured domains will find little relevant content. Finance professionals attending for capital markets, M&A intelligence, or investment-related purposes are not the intended audience. Specialists requiring deep-dive treatment of a single narrow technology area may find the broad format dilutes coverage of their specific domain. Delegates based far outside Northern Europe who are building a geographically diversified conference calendar will find the event oriented toward Nordic buyer-seller relationships. Organisations with very small technology teams that cannot justify two days of travel and absence for what is primarily an exhibition and conference format, rather than an intensive hosted-meeting programme, should weigh the return against that time cost.

The venue: Kistamässan

Kistamässan is a purpose-built exhibition and conference centre located in Kista, Stockholm's primary technology district, situated north of the city centre. Kista concentrates a significant share of Sweden's technology industry, including the Nordic offices of major global vendors alongside domestic software companies and research institutions. The venue is designed for large-scale trade exhibitions and can support multi-track conference programming alongside an exhibition floor of substantial size. Its location within the technology cluster means that attendees and exhibiting companies are geographically proximate to the industry they serve. No specific hall allocation or capacity figure for the Stockholm Tech Show edition has been disclosed.

The organiser: CloserStill Media

CloserStill Media is a commercial events publisher listed as the organiser of Stockholm Tech Show, with country registration indicated as Sweden. The company specialises in producing B2B trade events across technology and professional verticals, and its model centres on curated trade shows with embedded conference programmes. The founding year of the Swedish entity and the full size of its broader event portfolio are not documented in verified sources available at the time of this fiche. The organiser's website serves as both the event's public-facing site and the registration channel.

Editorial take

Stockholm Tech Show occupies a structural gap in the Nordic market: no competing event at comparable scale addresses all six of its technology domains under one roof in the spring window, which gives it weight with vendors whose Nordic go-to-market strategy depends on concentrated buyer access rather than repeated single-vertical appearances.

How to register and what it costs

Registration is handled directly through the official Stockholm Tech Show website at stockholmtechshow.se. Delegate pricing, exhibitor stand costs, and any tiered access structures are not publicly disclosed as of verification.
