27: Ludvig Bergstrom - The New Nordics

Ludvig Bergstrom is a tech entrepreneur and founder of Nordic Tech Week. He launched his first tech company five years ago while studying in Copenhagen before relocating to Stockholm. Frustrated by the inaccessibility of the tech ecosystem—where established conferences cost over €400 and many events were restricted to CEOs and established profiles—Ludvig recognized the need to democratize access to valuable tech insights.

This experience inspired him to create Nordic Tech Week, a week-long series of events in Stockholm designed to open doors for students, aspiring entrepreneurs, and newcomers to the tech scene. The flagship event is set to be the world's first fully open tech conference, hosted at Kungsträdgården, one of Stockholm's most iconic parks. The conference features panel discussions, free startup demonstrations, and networking opportunities aimed at connecting future co-founders, employees, and employers.

A strong advocate for "the new Nordics" concept—bringing together the Nordic and Baltic regions—Ludvig believes these regions share bold global ambitions and common values around sustainability and ethical tech scaling. His mission is to ensure that the insights and connections typically reserved for closed-door meetings become accessible to everyone who wants to understand where technology is heading and how to navigate the future of tech in this unified Nordic-Baltic ecosystem.
