What happens when expertise converges in Malmö?

Over just a few weeks in September 2026, a remarkable mix of researchers, founders, investors, industry leaders and innovators will gather in Malmö and across the Öresund region.

They are coming for different reasons and from different worlds. For ECCV, The Drop, Autonomy, Foodtech Forum, and other events exploring everything from computer vision and physical AI to investment, sustainability and the future of food.

These events bring together communities that are part of different but increasingly interconnected ecosystems, spanning research, entrepreneurship, investment, industry and sustainability.

What makes this September in Malmö particularly interesting is not simply the number of events taking place. It's what might happen when such a breadth of expertise comes together in the same place at the same time.

Because innovation rarely happens in isolation. It happens when knowledge moves between disciplines, when researchers meet entrepreneurs, when ideas encounter capital – and when people who approach the same challenges from completely different directions suddenly find themselves in the same room.

Located between Lund and Copenhagen, at the heart of the Öresund region, Malmö is part of an environment where research, entrepreneurship, industry and international talent exist in close proximity. This September makes some of those connections unusually visible – while creating opportunities for entirely new ones to emerge.

So perhaps the most interesting question is not what will happen at each individual event. It is what might happen between them.

We are curious to find out.
