What is Creative Tech Hunt?
Creative Tech Hunt is a national hunt for the most promising CreativeTech startups in Norway, aiming to create awareness and contribute to growth for the ecosystem of CreativeTech. 657 Oslo has been the initiator and national host since 2015, in cross-collaboration with national partners throughout Norway.
This is how it works!
We host 5 qualifying Tech Hunt rounds focusing on the 5 different creative industries:
Travel Tech Hunt
October
Marketing Tech Hunt
November
Creative Tech Hunt Finale
November
Step 1
You find yourself being the founder of a startup within the creative industries that’s leveraging technology to scale in innovative ways. From there you submit an application for the Tech Hunt you want to apply for.
Step 2
We invite 5-10 startups to join a closed event here at 657 Oslo, where you will get an exclusive workshop relevant for your business. We will invite business actors, investors, potential customers, mentors, and other ecosystem players we think the start-up companies could have value in pitching to.
Step 3
A jury will choose winners from each Tech Hunt to directly compete in the Creative Tech Hunt finale during Creative Tech Week Oslo in November. The jury will choose a national winner that wins some great prizes alongside a place to participate in the international pitch competition Creative Business Cup in Copenhagen Spring 2024.

What does CreativeTech really mean?
CreativeTech is a collective term for technology and/or innovation that scales one or more of these industries. Whilst the influence of the entire creative industry has been fundamental to the emergence of the concept, it does have a certain specificity. It can be defined as “technological solutions and/or digital services related to the development, production, dissemination, sale or distribution of artistic, cultural and creative content.”
