Program · 15 April 2027
An old brewery.
Taken over for a day.
Tou was a brewery from 1855 until 2003. Today it is one of Norway’s biggest independent culture houses, and on 15 April Impact Summit takes over every floor: the boiler room, the brewhouse stages and the grain loft under the roof. Every room has one job. The full programme is coming.
Scene 1 · Main stage
Tune in
MAINFRAME
The main stage, and the one place in the building where all you have to do is listen. Companies and people from this region and beyond talk about what they are building: the technology, the decisions behind it, and what it cost them to find out. Nothing big runs against MAINFRAME, and when the room is full the stream goes out to the café and UNPLUGGED.
- Opening
- Three 30-minute talks
- Impact Million final

OVERFLOW
Industry pitches problems it needs solved, startups pitch what they can build and deliver, and the partners run the Problem Bars. Sit down for a while and you will hear live problems from industry and meet the startups who can fix them. Coffee runs all day and the food comes out as it is ready, so the room never empties, which is why most of the useful meetings at Impact happen here by accident. Book a ten-minute 1:1 in one of the two Courchevel ski lifts. When the day is done, OVERFLOW becomes the closing stage, and the night carries on right there.

- 5-minute bar talks

INTERFACE
The networking room, up under the timber roof of the old grain loft. Meet relevant people at B2B speed dating, workshops and talks, all with the audience in the middle of them. By the time it is over you know who else in here is working on the same thing as you.
- B2B speed dating
- Workshops
- Open-dialogue talks
Scene 2
Chime in
UNPLUGGED
Short, loose and only lightly serious. A rotating programme of direct sessions, startup pitches on the open mic, partner presentations and investor pitches, and the audience is expected to join in. The mic is open and nobody is checking your slides. The people who step onto the stage decide what it becomes.
- Open mic
- Startup pitches
- Partner and investor pitches
