Gowest is more than A PLACE TO MEET.

Come into the room with intent, Leave with momentum.

  • Built around intent, not luck
    Find the investors, founders, companies and partners relevant to what you're building, backing or looking for — and book your meetings before GoWest.

    Access to active capital allocators
    Meet VCs, CVCs, angels and other active investors looking for emerging technologies and their next investment opportunities.

    Deep tech worth discovering
    Get closer to ambitious companies, university spinouts and technologies with the potential to shape tomorrow’s industries.

    Conversations that matter
    Hear from founders, investors, industry and policy leaders on the capital, technologies and decisions shaping European deep tech.

    Built in Gothenburg. Connected to Europe.
    Experience a region where leading universities, global industry, research and entrepreneurship have built a strong foundation for the industries of tomorrow.

  • Startups & scaleups
    Companies looking for pre-seed, seed and Series A investment.

    Investors
    Business angels, venture capital firms, family offices, LPs, corporate venture capital and pension funds.

    Industry
    Industry representatives looking to connect with new technologies, companies and investment opportunities.

    The wider ecosystem
    People and organisations working across innovation, research, business development and investment.

  • Capital
    This is the room where the next wave of European deep tech co-investment relationships gets built. 2027’s LP track will be the most significant addition: a dedicated closed-door format for family offices and institutional capital that has no equivalent anywhere in the Nordics.

    Influence
    The decisions made in European policy affect every company in the room and every fund writing cheques into them. GoWest is the only event that treats this as a first-order programme element, not a side panel. This is where regulatory risk becomes investable insight.

    Scale
    The engine for the whole platform is the introductions possible by having this ecosystem in the same room. This is where investors meet founders, innovation and CVC teams from Nordic industrial primes meet the deep tech pipeline. Nordic anchor, European stage, global significance.

This is GoWest.

See what happened when founders, active capital, industry and the wider ecosystem came together at GoWest 2026.

Now we’re building the next one.

GoWest 2027 | 13–15 April | Gothenburg

Come with intent. Leave with momentum.
