Humy at Nordic Tech Week 2026 in Stockholm

Humy.ai , the Stockholm company behind AI historical figures for schools, presented its platform at Nordic Tech Week , which ran across Stockholm from September 7 to 11, 2026. The organisers count more than 300 free events and over 25,000 attendees across the five days.

Two weeks before the event, Humy co-founder and CEO Stanislav Shakirov was named to Founders 50 , an annual list of fifty early-stage Nordic founders. The list is run by Nordic Founders , and its winner is crowned during Nordic Tech Week. Founders can’t nominate themselves. Peers in the Nordic ecosystem each put forward one name, and the fifty with the most nominations make the list.

At the Humy stand, visitors tried AI historical figures that can answer from archives of primary sources, with every quotation linked to the original document. In Humy’s August 2026 benchmark, answering from sources nearly doubled the model’s score on historical reasoning, from 29.6% to 58.2%.

Over the week, the team met four potential investors and had productive conversations about improving the product.

“Favorite part of any tech fair? Seeing people line up to try your product.”

Humy.ai specializes in creating Humies: simulations of historical, cultural, and scientific figures brought back to life using historical sources and artificial intelligence. The platform supports social studies and history instruction, AI tutoring, auto-graded assignments and lesson planning, and serves hundreds of schools, universities, and educators across more than 42 countries. If you missed the stand, the free demo runs in the browser with no sign-up.
