1. In alignment with the Second Annual Tallinn Conference organized by The International Technology Law Association in collaboration with Enterprise Estonia, ArcticStartup is cooperating to organize an Elevator Pitch Business Plan Contest with support from Connect Estonia. The contest is held in Tallinn, Estonia on May 26, 2009.

The deadline for pitch applications is now extended to May 13th, so 2 days to go. Please have a look at the ArcticStartup page.

2. TechCrunch Europe is putting together a round-table event in Stockholm on May 27. TechCrunchTalk Nordic will be an afternoon of panel discussions and presentations followed by a networking reception. We’ll be bringing together the startup, Angel and VC communities together to debate the next phase of the startup world in Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic countries – which should make for a lively discussion.

More information at the TechCrunch Europe page.

Together between ArcticStartup, Connect Estonia and OpenCoffee Tallinn we are organising a kick-ass tech startup event: ArcticEvening on January 28th in Tallinn.

The evening will include pitches from 2 Estonian and 2 Finnish startups, a panel between Sten Tamkivi from Skype, Allan Martinson from MTVP and a special Finnish guest, followed by drinks and networking.

From the interest people both from Finland and Estonia have shown, it promises to be a great event. Feel free to join us either a participant or submit your startup pitch to be among the 4 lucky starups to promote yourself there. You’ll meet an international bunch of enterpreneurs, tech people, VC’s and others. And it’s all free!

The number of seats is limited to 100, and in half a day half of these are already “sold out” so to join us, register on the event page already now – we might be full in a few days!

See you in Tallinn!
