Student Entrepreneurship Summit

One of the largest strengths of the educational ecosystems is the ability to build talents to navigate in the future digital opportunity landscape. In Aarhus and Denmark over the past 5 years we’ve seen an ever-increasing focus on leveraging experimental learning and turning the results of the hard work of students into real venture opportunities.

At the Student Entrepreneurship Summit we will unfold examples and cases of building successful student startups and discuss the setups needed to accelerate the student startup incubation programs.
