Join TechBBQ as a volunteer and help connect the Nordic and Indian startup ecosystems through the Nordic–India Startup Summit (NISS) 2027. We are looking for two proactive and organised volunteers to support stakeholder outreach, relationship coordination, and program activities. You will work closely with TechBBQ's Projects team and other departments, gaining hands-on experience in international collaboration and startup ecosystem engagement.

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure effective communication and stakeholder coordination.
• Support program planning, stakeholder follow-up, and event preparations as NISS 2027 approaches.
• Assist with matchmaking between participating startups and relevant Nordic investors, corporates, universities, and ecosystem organizations.
