Join us for Demo Day 2026 - March 4 at A Grid

What to Expect

Organized by Aalto Startup Center and A Grid, Demo Day is the perfect window into the innovation that comes out of the Aalto University campus, and the ideas shaping what’s next.

During the day, startups and research teams from our community set up to present their solutions, demos, and prototypes for you to examine and explore. In other words, our premises will be filled with founders and soon-to-be founders ready to share insights, answer questions, and connect with visitors.

Last year we had around 90 booths and over 700 attendees, and hundreds of participants are expected again this year. Whether you’re a founder, investor, stakeholder, ecosystem player, student (from Aalto or any university), mentor, or simply curious – everyone is welcome. Just register to attend.

Program Highlights

Alongside the startup showcase, we’re running a curated program throughout the day, built in collaboration with ecosystem partners including XSTRYV, Wednesday, Aalto Founders’ School, Espoo Gambe Lab, and FiBAN. FiBAN will host a morning pitching competition – don’t miss it.
