​AI is changing how companies are built and as founders we need to adapt. The real advantage isn’t knowing what AI can do - it’s knowing how to use it to do more, move faster, and stay on top of everything to run your organization smarter.

​Join Danish Tech Startups at Nordic Office for an afternoon focused on how we as founders are using AI in the real world to improve operations, automate the boring stuff, make better decisions, stay organized, lead our employees better and create more leverage in their day-to-day work.

​This is not a “sit back and listen” kind of event. Come with your challenges, ideas, and curiosity. Leave with practical ways to put AI to work immediately.

​Start: 16:00
Venue: Nordic Office, Skt Knuds Torv 3, 1, 8000 Aarhus C

​Program
16.00 – Arrival

16.15 – Welcome by Nordic Office & Danish Tech Startups (DTS)
Tom Quast, Founder, Nordic Office
Lasse Chor, Danish Tech Startups (DTS)

​16:30 – 17:30 – Founder + AI
Two talks from founders sharing their insights and learnings from implementing different AI tools and agents within their companies. The sessions will be highly practical, featuring real-world walkthroughs and honest insights into the challenges, benefits, and lessons learned along the way.

​Talk 1: Agents and automation, Speaker TBA

​Talk 2: TBC

​17:30-> – Execution Time
Stay for an informal, optional working session where everyone can actually start implementing what they’ve learned. Bring your laptop, pick something you want to improve, and work alongside other founders. Ask questions, share ideas, help each other out — and leave with something actually done. We will dine together while working and supporting each other.

​Drinks and snacks will be provided - dinner is at your own cost. We will order Wolt together :)

Get concrete insights into cybersecurity research, learn how research-based companies move from academia to market, and hear how their solutions are applied in the financial sector.

The event connects Aarhus University research, research-based spin-offs, and the financial industry to show how cybersecurity capabilities are built, scaled, and applied across the fintech ecosystem.

You will gain

• Insight into how cybersecurity research is turned into practical solutions.
• Real examples of research-based companies moving from academia to market.
• Use cases showing how cybersecurity solutions are applied in the financial sector.
• A broader understanding of how research, startups, and industry strengthen the fintech cybersecurity ecosystem.

You will meet

• Søren Skovgaard Bødker, Kitchen (AU) – on the new initiative, AU Cyber Center, the upcoming accelerator programme, and how the financial sector can take part in future research and industry collaborations.*
• Peter Frands Frandsen, COO & CTO & Co-founder of Partisia – sharing the path from academic research to a global cybersecurity company, with use cases from the financial sector.

Who is this event for?

• Fintech startups and scaleups.
• Financial institutions and industry professionals.
• Technology leaders and security professionals.
• Founders, product owners, and decision-makers.

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.
