International Entrepreneurial Exchange Summit

What happens when founders cross borders? At this summit we explore international entrepreneurial exchange — how programs like Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) connect new founders with experienced entrepreneurs abroad, and how cross-border mobility strengthens startups, ecosystems, and the people behind them. Join us for two hours of lightning talks, first-hand exchange stories, and conversation on how Norway and its neighbors can open more doors for entrepreneurs — from the Nordics and the Barents region to the rest of Europe. Whether you are a founder curious about going abroad, an experienced entrepreneur considering hosting, or an ecosystem builder or investor, this is where the international startup community meets during Oslo Innovation Week. Gain fresh perspectives, forge connections across borders, and help shape the future of entrepreneurial exchange in the North! *** PROGRAM ***11:00 Doors open11:15 Welcome - NorBAN & partners11:20 Introducing the exchange programs Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs and beyond The Norwegian School of Entrepreneurship 11:30 Lightning talks (4 × 5 minutes) Founder mobility: why exchanges accelerate startups Entrepreneurship across the Barents region From student to founder: the Norwegian School of Entrepreneurship experience Norway in the European exchange landscape 11:55 Exchange stories: founders and hosts share their experiences12:15 Fireside chat: Building international bridges for early-stage entrepreneurs12:30 Drinks and mingling13:00 Doors closeSeats are limited — register now to secure your spot!
