A two-day annual B2B technology gathering in Stockholm, scheduled for 25–26 May 2027 at Kistamässan, bringing together startups, scale-ups, investors, corporate leaders, and innovators across sustainability, defence technology, and emerging sectors.
TechArena Stockholm is an annual two-day B2B technology event held in Stockholm. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 25–26 May at Kistamässan, after the 2026 edition on 11–12 February at Strawberry Arena. The event convenes startups, scale-ups, corporate leaders, and investors across a programme spanning innovation, sustainability, defence technology, and leadership. It is organised by Techarena Group, a commercial publisher based in Sweden.
The 2027 edition runs on 25 and 26 May at Kistamässan in Stockholm. The event occupies two full days in the middle of the week. The previous edition took place on 11 and 12 February 2026 at Strawberry Arena, the arena formerly known as Friends Arena. No edition number for the 2027 instalment is publicly disclosed.
A note on dates: the raw source data contains a reference to a Stockholm Tech Show edition dated 26–27 May 2026, flagged internally as a duplicate entry. The dates for the 2027 edition are 25–26 May 2027, as presented in this fiche. Readers should verify the confirmed schedule directly with the organiser before travel planning.
The 2026 edition was held in February, early in the European conference year; the 2027 edition moves to late May, within the spring cluster of major technology and startup gatherings on the continent. Stockholm's standing as a high-density startup and scale-up hub, with particular depth in fintech, gaming, cleantech, and deep tech, makes a Stockholm edition viable: local companies and regional investors are active participants rather than visitors needing to travel from abroad. The event anchors the Nordic leg of the technology circuit during the spring season.
The number of stages, specific session formats, and any special programming components are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The event runs across two days and covers six thematic areas: innovation broadly, startups, scale-ups, leadership, defence technology, and sustainability. Whether the format includes an exhibition hall, structured one-to-one meetings, a dedicated matchmaking app, or curated side events is not confirmed in available source material.
The 2026 edition was organised around six declared thematic pillars (the 2027 programme had not been published as of 2026-10-26):
Speaker names, session titles, and confirmed keynote participants are not publicly disclosed as of verification.
TechArena Stockholm is a B2B technology event, not a consumer show or academic conference. Its declared audience spans the full innovation cycle: founders and startup teams, scale-up executives, corporate innovators, and investors. The thematic breadth, covering six distinct pillars from defence technology to sustainability, suggests a generalist technology positioning rather than a single-sector deep-dive. The event is designed for practitioners, not observers.
Defence Tech is one of the six declared programme themes, reflecting a broader Nordic and European shift toward dedicated attention to security and dual-use technology. Specific sessions, speakers, and the format of this track are not publicly disclosed. Attendees with a direct interest in this area should contact the organiser for programme details.
Five profiles for whom the event is a poor fit:
The organiser reports 5,000 delegates. The year to which this figure applies, its breakdown by audience type, and its source methodology are not disclosed. No historical attendance trend data is publicly available.
The 2027 edition is scheduled at Kistamässan; this section describes Strawberry Arena, the 2026 venue. Strawberry Arena, previously named Friends Arena, is a large multipurpose indoor venue in Solna, a municipality directly adjacent to central Stockholm. Originally built as Sweden's national football stadium, the arena has a total capacity that substantially exceeds the 5,000-delegate scale of TechArena Stockholm, giving the event considerable space for exhibition, programming, and networking layouts. The rebrand from Friends Arena to Strawberry Arena reflects a commercial naming rights transaction; the facility itself is unchanged.
The venue's scale and transport connections, with proximity to Stockholm's commuter rail network, make it accessible from the city centre and from Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Large arena venues of this type typically lend themselves to multi-stage conference formats and exhibition halls, though the specific floor plan and room configuration used for TechArena Stockholm are not publicly documented.
Techarena Group is a Sweden-based commercial publisher and event organiser. The group operates the TechArena Stockholm event and maintains its digital presence through the stockholmtechshow.se domain. Its founding year, total portfolio size, and city of registration within Sweden are not publicly disclosed. As a commercial publisher, Techarena Group produces the event on a for-profit basis rather than under the mandate of an industry association or non-profit body. No further confirmed portfolio events are documented as of verification.
TechArena Stockholm occupies a credible early-year position in the Nordic technology calendar, drawing a broad audience across the innovation cycle at a venue built for scale, but the absence of confirmed programme details, matchmaking infrastructure, and historical data makes independent assessment of its depth and meeting quality difficult.
Delegate pricing for the 2027 edition had not been published as of 2026-10-26. Registration is handled through the official event website at stockholmtechshow.se. No tiered pricing structures, group rates, or complimentary LP access models are documented. Prospective attendees should contact Techarena Group directly for pricing information and any access conditions that may apply.
The 2027 edition takes place at Kistamässan in Stockholm, Sweden. The 2026 edition was held at Strawberry Arena in Solna, accessible by commuter rail from Stockholm Central Station. No full street address or travel details for the 2027 venue are covered in available source material; the organiser's website should be consulted for venue and travel details.
No invitation-only or qualification-based access conditions are documented. The event appears to operate on a standard paid-registration model open to relevant professionals, but this is not confirmed in available source material. Contact the organiser at stockholmtechshow.se for current access conditions.
No structured B2B matchmaking system, advance scheduling tool, or official networking application is confirmed for this event. Professionals whose primary objective is pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings should verify directly with the organiser whether such infrastructure is offered for the 2027 edition.
