Applications are open and close on 18 September 2026. Selection runs in two stages after that: semifinals on 20 October and a final on 22 October 2026, the latter held during DNB NXT rather than during Oslo Innovation Week itself.
100 Pitches puts founders on stage in front of investors in the Norwegian capital. It is a competition and not a programme: no cheque is attached, nothing is taken in equity, and there is no support wrapped around it.
It is best judged on one question, which is whether the Norwegian investor base is one the founder wants to be in front of.
What it actually costs you
During Oslo Innovation Week, 100 Pitches puts founders on stage in front of investors in the Norwegian capital. It is a pitch competition rather than a funded programme: what participants get is investor exposure, with no cheque attached and no equity taken. Founders considering it should treat it as a visibility and introductions exercise tied to the Oslo event.
