About Oslo Innovation Week

Oslo Innovation Week is Norway's most important meeting place for innovation – and one of Northern Europe's most internationally connected startup events. Join us 19–22 October 2026.

Thousands of founders, investors, corporates and talent converge in Oslo to build relationships, close deals and shape what comes next. In 2025, OIW brought together 15,000 participants from 40 countries, with 404 VCs in attendance. 

This year, we're introducing a curated Main Programme of up to 20 flagship events, complemented by an open Side Programme where the wider ecosystem is invited to host their own events during OIW week.

Oslo Innovation Week is powered by Oslo&Co.
