CULTURE IS NOT TABLE FOOTBALL AND FRIDAY DRINKS.

‍

It is way more than the work environment and social events. What is culture then? And how do startups build and scale strong and healthy cultures that not only attract and retain talent but also increase productivity?

‍

Those are some of the things we want to discuss at our next TalkBBQ event in Aarhus on August 25. The event is a warm up for the big TechBBQ 2022 event in September.

‍

Network is essential in our work. When we develop our businesses, create collaboration, find new customers and colleagues or need new knowledge for innovation. Some find it is easy to network, for others it is more difficult. So how do we actually network and how can we train it? At this Kitchen Club event we invite startups, established companies, students and university staff to learn more about the art of networking.

‍

We have invited the network expert Charlotte Junge to take us through an intense 3 hour networking session, where we gain knowledge and train the skills.

‍

Charlotte Junge has for 20 years created courses about networking and has published four books about the topic. The latest book “Netværk – sådan gør du” just came out this spring.

TechBBQ is the largest startup and innovation summit in Denmark and Greater Copenhagen in September. We bring together talent, capital, and knowledge to reach our common goals: Support the Nordic startup ecosystem, celebrate our successes, and learn from our failures. We build communities and foster growth for startups and scaleups based on the distinctive Nordic traditions of openness, trust, and inclusion.

‍

Meet your future customer, investor, co-founder, employer or employee. Explore new technologies and the companies that make them a reality and give yourself the opportunity to get that one special meeting, the one you did not know you needed.

What talents are already part of your team, what are their competencies and how can your team be further strengthened? How do you build a company culture that matches your ambition and values?

This workshop aims to inspire your strategical thoughts about work habits, culture and about your most valued equity – your colleagues and employees. We will introduce different ways of developing a meaningful culture and take your conditions as a startup into account.

We will introduce some of the current cultural tendencies as inspiration to your strategical thoughts about the startup culture you would like to build.

Please notice you will benefit the most from this workshop if the full founder-team participates.

‍

The goal of this workshop is to prepare you to confidently take the lead in the investment process so you can attract investors.

A confident and proactive founder team is attractive for investors. In this workshop, you will learn about the different types of investors, what they look for and understand how they think and act, both before and after investment.

You will also be introduced to what a Cap Table is and why it is important to know how a cap table develops over several rounds of investment.

You will be introduced to terms such as: Cap table, pre-/post money valuation, series A, etc.

Your brand is your business.

‍

It is the sum of all the impressions you leave: it’s you, your product, customer service, communication, appearance etc. In other words; every startup has a brand. Does yours do you any good?

‍

A good brand connects with the audience and guides strategic decisions.

‍

In this workshop we will focus on what you can do to shape your brand in a way that is believable, relevant, and meaningful to you, your startup and your customers.

There is a huge number of societal challenges that we urgently need to create sustainable solutions for. Startups can play an essential role in meeting these challenges. Conversely you probably need to consider several sustainability-related issues to future-proof your startup.

‍

This workshop seeks to inspire you to contribute to a more sustainable future as well as preparing you to meet expectations from different stakeholders in the field of sustainability. We will approach sustainability from several angles including green/ecological, social and cultural dimensions.

‍

The workshop is relevant for you if you want to develop and integrate smaller or major initiatives into your startup that can contribute to a more sustainable future.

The goal of this 3-hours workshop is to ensure that you have a digital architecture that is ready for scaling and that supports your business strategy.

‍

IBM will bring their expertise and help you assess your current IT architecture and provide suggestions for improvement. Based on this, experts will advise you on how you technically can improve your architecture and reach your desired business outcomes.

‍

The first part of the workshop consists of a traditional talk sprinkled with group discussions and short exercises. The second part is allocated to discuss real challenges that the startups are facing. Be prepared to present your technical challenge in plenum and to discuss your own and the other startups’ challenges.

‍

The workshop is targeted CTO (or equivalent) in startups within IT, platform, software, cloud and IoT.
The workshop is technology-agnostic, and IBM will not push their products and services.

This year's event will take place in beautiful surroundings at Aarhus City Hall. The official program is followed by an exclusive networking dinner (check the box during registration if you wish to participate).

As part of the program we will be announcing the winners of the INCUBA awards: Investor of the Year and Startup of the Year.

If you actively invest in startups - as an angel investor, VC, accelerator,or family office - then join us for an amazing event to strengthen the investor community in Business Region Aarhus.

Most people think of patents as the only way to protect an idea. The truth is that trademark, copyright, design protection and trade secrets can also be used to protect a company’s assets.

‍

The workshop will help you choose the right protection strategy for your startup.

‍

(The workshop does not cover patent – patent is for a separate workshop.)

The world's leading startup event, Slush, shines a spotlight on Aarhus in October. Join Aarhus' biggest startup event to date, when we gather all the people you'll want to meet for a full day of inspiring talks, networking, matchmaking, surprises, and serendipity.

The goal of this workshop is to make you a more successful negotiator. This will help you get better deals and develop your business smoother and more efficiently.

‍

At the workshop, you negotiate the conditions for an angel investment, either from the perspective of the business angel or that of the founder.

‍

Building on this, we discuss the principled negotiation approach of the Harvard method, which supports the collaborative realization of win-win potentials and the development of trusting relationships.
