EMNY Alumni: Join Innovation Norway at New York Tech Week 2026
3 June 2026 - 4 June 2026
Seminar
New York Tech Week is back - and so is the EMNY Alumni Summit 2026.
Designed for EMNY (Executive Marketing New York - an Innovation Norway scaling program) alumni and current companies, the Summit brings together Norwegian founders, U.S. investors, operators, and ecosystem partners for high-quality conversations and meaningful connections.
This is where trusted relationships are renewed, new collaborations take shape, and Norway’s founder community engages New York at full startup speed. Expect sharp perspectives, relevant market insight, and the kind of serendipitous meetings that only happen when the right people are in the room during Tech Week. Registration is now open, with alumni places limited and curated.
Innovation Norway invites current and alumni EMNY companies to take part in two official New York Tech Week events, delivered in close partnership with the Consulate General of Norway in New York.
Participants may register interest for one or both events. Attendance is curated.
