Thank you DUEN for a great Slush! Professional development activities are invaluable—but what truly sets experiences like these apart are the friendship-focused trips and network-strengthening activities that add so much to the broader Danish ecosystem. Through initiatives like these, we’re building bridges across faculties, hubs, and employees, making cross-collaboration more accessible and impactful. This week, we’ve had the privilege to: 🌍 Explore the Finnish university ecosystem and gain insights from its world-class innovation hubs. 🎤 Witness inspiring entrepreneurs like Justin Kan co-founder of Twitch/Stash and Chris Malachowsky , co-founder of NVIDIA share wisdom with the next generation of innovators. 🎶 Sing karaoke, bond over sauna sessions, and even take sea swims together! 🤝 Forge international relationships with business hubs and universities across Europe. 🌟 Network with startups, investors, and faculty members, strengthening ties that will impact the innovation community for years to come. We are deeply grateful to Otto Mønsteds Fond for sharing this vision and supporting our efforts to strengthen the DUEN employee community and the larger Danish innovation ecosystem. To all the participants—your engagement, energy, and passion are what make this community so special. Thank you for being incredible to collaborate with and grow alongside! A special shoutout to Alfonso Gutierrez, Aalto University (Aalto Startup Center), the University of Helsinki (Helsinki Incubators), and Irmelin Mimi Eva Ipsen from Catalonia T&I Nordic and Baltic Countries, Pedro Gensini, Eetu Helminen, and all the amazing university hubs that joined us.  Let’s hope we can create something just as impactful next year!
