Legal expertise for the next era of innovation
In February, more than 12,000 founders, investors, business leaders, and decision-makers will gather in Stockholm for Techarena 2026. With the theme New Era, Next Mindset, this year’s event highlights a shift already underway – in technology, business, and society at large.
Among the participants are Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson, contributing legal expertise to the innovation ecosystem shaping what comes next.
Techarena has become Scandinavia’s most influential platform for innovation and entrepreneurship – a place where ambition meets opportunity. For Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson, participation is a natural extension of their role: supporting companies and innovators as ideas evolve into sustainable businesses.
As innovation accelerates, questions around intellectual property, commercialization, and business law grow increasingly complex – and increasingly critical. Whether for early-stage startups or established international companies, the right legal strategy often determines how far innovation can go. At Techarena, the firms engage with organizations navigating these pivotal moments.
The theme New Era, Next Mindset also reflects a changing view of legal advisory. For Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson, it means working close to the business, understanding commercial realities, and acting proactively. Law is not just about protection – it is a strategic tool for growth, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness.
As part of Techarena 2026, Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson will also host a joint panel discussion titled “IP pitfalls in the tech industry – lessons from fast-growing tech companies.” The session brings together leaders from high-growth tech companies, including Jonas Nyvang, co-founder and CEO of STILFOLD, Ted Pender, Senior Legal Counsel at Marshall Group, and Linda Portnoff, CEO of Tangy Market.
Drawing on real-world IP journeys, the panel explores how informed and strategic IP decisions can play a critical role in successful scaling, fundraising, and exits.
By taking part in Techarena 2026, the firms aim to contribute to meaningful conversations, share knowledge, and build new relationships – all with the ambition of helping more ideas move successfully from concept to market.
