Kaupr and FirstBlock are partnering around the blockathon in Stockholm this September. Fati Hakim and Morten Myrstad talk about why in the video below.

Both point to the same starting point: blockchain in the Nordics is discussed as finance and cryptocurrency, while what gets built outside that goes largely uncovered. Of the eight areas participants can work in, only two are finance.

FirstBlock-athon runs 7–11 September as part of Nordic Tech Week 2026.
