STARTUP EXTREME 2022
WELCOME TO THE WORLD’S MOST EXTREME STARTUP EVENT.
WHERE THE WORLD MEETS THE NORWEGIAN STARTUP ECOSYSTEM IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORWAY.
Next Extreme Bets – future growth catalysts for the next decade
The past decade we have seen disruptive technology dominate the investment markets and the rise of unicorns globally. But disruptive technology is no longer enough.
There is a clear trend towards impact investing; generating financial returns while also creating a positive societal or environmental impact. Simultaneously, we are transitioning to WEB 3.0 and are experiencing the rise of the metaverse. Access to capital is shifting. Climate change is real. And unicorns are no longer a fantasy.
The big question remains – what are the next extreme bets?
Find out at the world’s most extreme 2-day startup event where hundreds of innovators, startups and investors from across Europe gather in the Alps of Norway, Hemsedal, April 27-28th, to get inspired, network the Norwegian way and explore the next extreme bets.

Upcoming activities you find happening on Thursday morning.
Randonne tour
A local guide will bring you on a safe and amazing ski trip in the mountains of Hemsedal. Where the trip goes depends on weather and snow conditions. Bring ski equipment and a backpack with room for extra clothing, snacks/food and drinks.
Dog Sledding
Experience the adrenalin and the beautiful views when we switch horse power with husky power. A sleigh can hold two people – one sitting in the sleigh and one controlling the dogs before we switch positions approx. half way through.
Sleigh ride
A relaxing and beautiful trip in the Lykkja area. Enjoy the majestic Skogshorn Mountain from the cozy sleigh while the horses calmly take you through the landscape.
Via ferrata climbing
Not for those with fear of heights! On a Via Ferrata trip you follow a metal wire and climb on the side of the mountain all the way to the top. A great feeling of accomplishment and a beautiful view as a reward.
Mountain carts
Another fun way to get down the mountain. We drive on gravel roads and the only thing you have to think about is breaking in time. Safety equipment will be handed out on the spot.
Coffee tasting
Meet Adrian, our very own Canadian coffee enthusiast that will tell you all about coffee, roasting and how to make the perfect coffee. A great experience if you are not into outdoors.
Indoor climbing wall
Embrace your inner child by bouldering on the large area in the climbing centre or try to master some of the many routes on the 14-meter-high climbing wall. Will you reach the top?
Yoga
Start your morning in the best possible way and be ready for whatever the day brings.
Jacuzzi and storytelling
For local musician Knut Fausko it is important to convey the cultural heritage through music and storytelling. Enjoy his unique stories, music on “hardingfele” and a refreshing dip in the hot tub.
Sauna and ice bath
Get hot and sweaty before cooling down in the rough Norwegian nature. For those with Viking blood it will be possible to go for a dip in the river.
Guided snow shoe trip
Wanna go to the top but don’t feel comfortable skiing down? Join a guided snow shoe trip and experience the great outdoors without having to feel nervous about the descent.
Alpine skiing
Enjoy your day in the slopes in Norway’s second biggest ski resort. You will find slopes with different difficulties and surely find your favourite too.
