San Francisco and New York City have been traditionally thought as hotbeds for tech startup, but pockets of new talent has been popping up all over the world in strong urban centers where young people want to live like Berlin, Istanbul, London, Stockholm, Boulder and elsewhere. One of the major hotspots has been Sweden with companies like Spotify, Skype, King and Ericsson all leading the way in terms of innovation, where other major brands in H&M and Ikea have all made their name as brands from the Nordic country. With all of this talent focused in a city with 2 million people, it is surprising that there is no SXSW-style of conference to try and bring these people together all at once. That is about to change with two of the brightest minds in the city, Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify and Ash Pournouri, founder of At Night Management, which handles Avicii, Cazzette, Ishi and others is looking to start a new conference this summer.
