Europe does not lack technical talent. It lacks a place where the most ambitious builders are pushed hard enough to test themselves and find people they want to change the world with. NS27 is built to become that place.

We put ambitious builders into unusual environments under real pressure. The result is not just output - it's a network that keeps compounding long after Edition I ends. An institution of people who will shape Europe's future.

Our team has been inside the rooms we’re trying to create: as builders, organizers and operators. That’s why we can design NS27 to filter for caliber instead of just filling seats.

Want to build
NS27 with us?
We’re growing the team behind the first editions. If you’d rather shape the room than just attend it, we should talk.
