AARHUS TOWNHALL 2026

Some say Aarhus is the smallest big city in the world.

We think they've got it wrong. Aarhus is the world's biggest village.
‍
Proximity is our unfair advantage. Townhall is our annual village party.

For one evening, founders, investors, operators, talent and everyone helping build startups come together for good conversations, new connections, beer, shawarma and a few surprises.
‍
Because in Aarhus, the value of the ecosystem is not just who is here. It's what happens when the right people meet.

That's the Village Effect.

So bring a friend or come on your own when Startup Aarhus opens the doors for the 7th version of Aarhus Townhall.

It's chill, it's free and we promise you'll fit right in 🖤

And this year we are doing something 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.

This year’s theme: 🪞 MIRROR MIRROR 🪞
‍
AI is everywhere right now. It is reshaping how founders build, work and think about what companies can become.
‍
But we have been here before.
‍
The dotcom boom, mobile, social media, cloud, crypto.

Every wave came with huge promises, bold predictions and plenty of hype. Some disappeared. Others quietly became part of everyday life.
‍
At Townhall 2026, we’ll use those previous waves as mirrors for the moment we are in now.
‍
Expect stories and perspectives from founders who have built through different eras, a few predictions worth revisiting, and plenty of room to discuss what comes next.
‍
Program for those who will be here ↓↓
‍5:00 pm: Be here or be square
5:45 pm: Something important will happen here
6:45 pm: Food is here
9:00 pm: Join the epic afterparty

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.
