NORDIC VR: START UP PITCHES

Over a little more than a year, Silicon Vikings has had two great events on VR, with a US and global focus. But we now thought we would focus more narrowly, and see whether the Nordics can follow up on their considerable success on the gaming front in recent years (with great exits, and lots of growth) and build globally competitive VR companies. We know lots of interesting things are emerging, and this session will highlight the most interesting and innovative developments, and we will have a panel discussion with VR industry leaders (see below). We will also have a number of short pitches by some Swedish VR companies, and our panelists will give them some brief feedback.
