2-part workshop series:

Sustainability is quickly becoming a competitive edge — especially when talking to investors, partners, and customers. Working with sustainability starts with having access to the right data about your company, services and products, and that’s what these workshops are helping you get access to.

In this practical, beginner-friendly workshop series, you’ll learn how to understand and calculate your startup’s greenhouse gas emissions — and turn it into real business value.

In this fully funded workshop series, you will create a climate account for your startup, saving you a lot of time, money and effort. Green Survey makes complex and hard work easier for you to overcome and benefit from.

No prior experience needed.

What you’ll get:

• A clear understanding of climate accounting & ESG
• Hands-on experience calculating your own greenhouse gas emissions
• Skills to repeat the calculations year after year
• Insight into how climate data strengthens:
  • funding & investor dialogue
  • communication (without greenwashing)
  • your competitive advantage  

Why join?

• Climate data is becoming a standard in funding, investment and partnerships
• It helps you make smarter decisions and reduce costs
• It can unlock new business opportunities and competitive advantages
• You’ll be able to communicate legally without greenwashing

Friday is for teaming up around ideas. Participants pitch fresh startup ideas, the room votes, and diverse teams of 4-6 people form around the strongest ones.

‍Saturday is for building and feedback: Teams spend the day validating, testing and iterating including 1:1 mentor feedback from experienced founders and operators.

‍Sunday is the final stretch. Teams refine their ideas, prepare their pitches and present to a panel of expert judges before the winners are announced.

Townhall is our favourite excuse to get everyone together.

​It’s where you grab a beer, eat shawarma, meet people who speak “startup” fluently, and maybe even find that missing piece your company has been looking for.

​At Aarhus Townhall, the stage is kept short, sharp and done before your drink gets warm.

​Because this isn’t about listening for hours. It’s about actually meeting people.

​Expect music, surprises, shawarma and a room full of people building, backing and supporting startups from Aarhus.

​Bring a friend or come on your own.

​It’s chill, it’s free, and we promise you’ll fit right in 🖤

​And this year is special.

​For the first time, Startup Aarhus and INCUBA have teamed up to create Aarhus’ biggest day for investors and startups by hosting Aarhus Townhall and Aarhus Investor Summit on the same day.

​First Investor Summit. Then Townhall. That means more founders, more investors and more of the Aarhus startup ecosystem in town together.

​Interested in Aarhus Investor Summit? Register here.

​Hope to see you on October 8th!

​PS: We have a limited number of tickets, and it’s first come, first served. They usually disappear fast, so please only grab one if you know you can make it. Every no-show means someone else from the community misses out.
