Epicenter Stockholm

We're turning 10, will you join? 🤝 Now introducing Epicenter X! When building a disruptive business, it takes more than vision and hard work; many times you need friends who are willing to open new doors, make introductions, and share their skills. For 10 years, we have worked to make Epicenter that friend to Sweden’s boldest entrepreneurs and most innovative changemakers. This celebration is all about giving back the knowledge that we have gained together with our community and a tribute to the Swedish changemakers who have propelled Stockholm forward over the last decade. Welcome to Epicenter Stockholm on the 17th of January 2025 to celebrate a decade of collaborative innovation. 👉 APPLY FOR YOUR SPOT HERE: https://lnkd.in/dAFATAn2 This video was produced in collaboration with Naughty Society, member of Epicenter. #EpicenterX
