On 20th October 2026, Øresund Startup News and the Öresund Startup Map hosted a lunch talk at HETCH Helsingborg during the Helsingborg Tech Week to introduce 25 of this region’s interesting startups. The goal is to help people discover what is happening in the startup scene beyond their own city.
From AI and climate tech to digital health, robotics, gaming, and many more. The startups here are not in a specific ranking; rather, it is from the perspective of what the participants might find interesting and help them gain new insights into the region’s startup landscape. By highlighting these companies, this session aims to help people discover startups that are lesser known to the general public because most of them are mostly focused on B2B.

Mapping the startup ecosystem
Two initiatives played a central role in the discussion: Øresund Startup News, where we cover the latest news of founders, startups, and innovation across the region, and the Öresund Startup Map, a platform designed to make the startup ecosystem easier to explore.
On their website, Öresund Startup Map comes with an actual map of startups in the region; not only that, they have updated events people can sign up for, and job opportunities across Skåne and Greater Copenhagen. By the time of its launch, the map already has 900+ organizations free to explore.
Whether you are a founder looking for connections, investors discovering companies, or organizations looking for collaborators, both of these initiatives help make the startup ecosystem more visible and accessible for everyone,
One region, more opportunities to discover
This lunch talk at HETCH highlighted a simple but important challenge for the Øresund startup ecosystem, which is to connect people with opportunities that already exist nearby and to build awareness of what is happening in the region.
For Øresund startups, the takeaway is clear. Building a stronger cross-border ecosystem is not only about creating more events, but it is also about helping people discover what is already happening across the cities and the other side of the bridge.
