Investments
Meet Denmark’s
second largest
startup ecosystem
Aarhus is a high quality startup scene where founders build from local strengths in health, food, energy, finance, retail and software.
Startup Aarhus helps investors discover what is moving, who is raising and where to engage.
Our investments team tracks fundraising activity, maps startups and investors, organises investor activities and helps relevant investors meet the right founders at the right time.
Startups scale
from Aarhus'
→ local strengths
Aarhus startups often build from close access to strong sectors, technical talent, research environments and established companies.
From Just Eat, Trustpilot and Lunar to Humio, Kanpla, Formalize, Landfolk, Frameo, NMD Pharma, Cordulus, Kvantify and Cernel, Aarhus has shown that international companies can start here.
And the next generation is already building.
Startup Aarhus helps investors meet the relevant companies at the right time and understand what is moving in Aarhus.

Events for investors ⇧
Aarhus Investor Summit 2026
The programme features perspectives from leading voices in venture capital, discussions on current market trends, and opportunities to connect with business angels, venture funds, family offices, and other investors with an interest in startups and growth companies. (Full programme TBA, ending at 14.30)
This year, we are strengthening the investor focus even further with a curated audience and a programme designed to make Aarhus worth the trip, whether you are travelling from Copenhagen, elsewhere in Denmark, or abroad.
The day concludes with the INCUBA Awards, celebrating Startup of the Year and Investor of the Year for their contribution to growth, innovation, and the development of the Aarhus startup ecosystem.
Please note: Aarhus Investor Summit is exclusively for investors.
Aarhus Investor Summit 2026
An afternoon of market insights, inspiring speakers, valuable networking and a delicious lunch.
Aarhus Townhall 2026
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.

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.
Didn’t get one? Join our waitlist. We’ll contact you if anything opens up.
