London Bootcamp is collaboration between the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket). It is a one-week accelerator programme especially designed for Swedish tech businesses looking to build a presence and connection with London and the UK. The programme takes place during London Tech Week, and is open to Swedish tech businesses and start-ups.
The participating businesses get the opportunity to learn from, connect with and meet leading tech experts, successful entrepreneurs and seasoned investors from the tech and financial capital of Europe.
The one-week programme offers a range of dedicated seminars and workshops, on topics ranging from practically setting up in the UK, how to find customers and distributors, to lessons learnt from entrepreneurs already established the UK, and what investors are looking for. Speakers and mentors include senior business professionals, seasoned entrepreneurs and best-in-class field experts.
Some selected businesses are also offered matchmaking with potential clients, partners and distributors in the UK, and have the opportunity to pitch their business at the annual Tech Forum in front of an audience of 200+ peers and investors.
“Many thanks to the Chamber and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth for an excellent week and a great programme. Looking forward to keep pushing the snowball that started rolling during the week.”
Marcus Jacobsson, Founder & CEO, Tipser – Bootcamper 2019
"This was a very well-arranged event. Great planning, great venues and great people. The quality of the attending start-ups was very good and there was a strong and relevant speaker line-up. We are taking home a very good experience, fresh learnings and most importantly a line-up of great new contacts in the Swedish Start-up ecosystem."
