What's #UniversalDesign? 🤔 A design methodology that focuses on creating inclusive and accessible solutions for people of all backgrounds and abilities. 💁 Through our new program, #DiscoverUniversalDesign, we explored core principles and how companies can apply them in practise. We aim to foster thinking that truly leaves no one behind. ❤️ Together with our partner Royal Danish Academy we owe a big thanks to all companies involved and Bevica Fonden for making it possible! #technologyleavingnoonebehind #DTUinnovation #innovation #design #entrepreneurship #inclusivedesign #sustainableinnovation

We are happy to see our good friends at NitroVolt featured in today’s Børsen. They just raised 26 million DKK, including support from Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Fellows, to develop sustainable "green ammonia" technology! Their innovation drastically reduces CO2 emissions by enabling eco-friendly fertilizer production directly on farms – paving the way for greener agriculture. 🧑🌾🌾 We've had the pleasure of supporting NitroVolt from early lab-stage idea through our funding, mentorship, and DTU Earthbound accelerator programs. It’s inspiring to see their hard work and dedication driving real progress. #DTUinnovation #innovation #startup #agriculture

We took part in #RiseEurope, the European network of startup ecosystem builders, when stakeholders from across Europe met to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Europe’s start-up ecosystem! Some of the key takeaways were: 🎓 The need for stronger entrepreneurship education in European higher education. 🪢 The importance of more cohesive ties between start-ups, corporates, investors, and other key players in the ecosystem. 🦸 The need for broader investment horizons to support the growth of European tech champions. Rise Europe is committed to driving this change by incentivizing innovation, fostering connections, and building strong networks to create a more vibrant and competitive European tech landscape. Organized by #RiseEurope in cooperation with the Representation of the Free State of Bavaria to the EU with Eric Beißwenger, the German Startups Association and Gründerland Bayern with Christoph Pfaff. #DTUInnovation #entrepreneurship #innovation #startups #tech

Digital Tech Summit Day 2! 🚀 The final day of Denmark’s largest deep tech event is live - and today is probably best summed up with the wonderful discipline of pitching. 🚀 Last Monday, we hosted more than 130 young academics and entrepreneurs at the Next Generation Digital Action Tech Bazar. A tour-de-force of solutions and creative ideas from different cultures and different disciplines, where solutions are not necessarily limited to a single country but on a global scale, can make an even bigger impact on our common society. 🔋➡️✈️ From turning your EV into a home battery to combat price surges and peak hours with non-renewable energy sources to software that’s able to combat corruption and create more transparency on public tenders and even drones that can collect waste in streams and monitor water quality in real-time making sure that bigger rivers and lakes are not as likely to be polluted. Last Monday, we looked into the future. And today, on the final day of Digital Tech Summit, we are inviting everyone to come and experience it once again, as the cohort of Young Entrepreneurs and Young Academics will pitch live on stage 💡 Read more about the Tech Bazar in ITWatch (Content in Danish): https://lnkd.in/e5FdU73h #DTUInnovation #Innovation #NGDA2024 #NextGenerationDigitalAction #DigitalTechSummit2024 #Entrepreneurship #Startups #DeepTech #Tech DTU - Technical University of Denmark DTU Sustain Next Generation by DTU Skylab 📸: Mikal Schlosser

This results in fewer investments than their male counterparts, creating an unfair advantage in the entrepreneurial world. For this panel discussion, we will dive into a demonstration of how bias works in real life and get smarter on how we can dismantle bias in the future. Location: Startup Stage Thursday 📍Applied AI Lunch Talks: The EU AI Act - What It Means for You, in Simple Terms The EU AI Act is bound to go live later this year.

Incorporating your startup? There's a bit more to it than business plans. For instance: Network. Sharing of knowledge with peers. Expert insights. And a whole lot of legal! 📖🖋️ That was what we helped entrepreneurial researchers at DTU get one step ahead of the game by focusing on the overall topic of legal essentials when creating a spinout. And we invited some of the best people to cover it! ✅ We had Anders Kjær from PSV for an insightful presentation on legal considerations when making agreements with investors - based on the PSV checklist. ✅ LASSEN RICARD made sure that our attendees got a firm grip on legal considerations when incorporating, including shareholder agreements and much more ✅ And finally, Tomas Wikborg took us through how DTU as a whole works with the transfer of tech, including IP deals and licensing. And on the plus side. A whole lot of networking for the participants with each other, but also the speakers. Interested in participating in future networking events such as this?
