What we offer
Corporate Venturing
Network
We gather front-running companies in and around Denmark that invest in and/or collaborate with startups – either through spinouts, collaborations, projects, or incubation.
The quarterly network meetings are a confidential space to discuss challenges and share opportunities across companies about actively working with startups.
Study trip
Once a year, we invite network members on a study trip abroad to explore how startup ecosystems, business collaborations, capital acquisition, entrepreneurship, and infrastructure are fostered and managed in the region we visit. In previous years we have visited:
2024: Gothenburg - focus on how to seamlessly integrate startups and corporations
2026: Munich - focus on finding best examples of venture clienting in the local ecosystem
