Aarhus Townhall 2026
Townhall is our favourite excuse to get everyone together.
It’s where you grab a beer, eat shawarma, meet people who speak “startup” fluently, and maybe even find that missing piece your company has been looking for.
At Aarhus Townhall, the stage is kept short, sharp and done before your drink gets warm.
Because this isn’t about listening for hours. It’s about actually meeting people.
Expect music, surprises, shawarma and a room full of people building, backing and supporting startups from Aarhus.
Bring a friend or come on your own.
It’s chill, it’s free, and we promise you’ll fit right in 🖤
And this year is special.
For the first time, Startup Aarhus and INCUBA have teamed up to create Aarhus’ biggest day for investors and startups by hosting Aarhus Townhall and Aarhus Investor Summit on the same day.
First Investor Summit. Then Townhall. That means more founders, more investors and more of the Aarhus startup ecosystem in town together.

Hope to see you on October 8th!

PS: We have a limited number of tickets, and it’s first come, first served. They usually disappear fast, so please only grab one if you know you can make it. Every no-show means someone else from the community misses out.
Didn’t get one? Join our waitlist. We’ll contact you if anything opens up.
