DRIVING COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION

DTU encourages and supports the building of sustainable and multidisciplinary solutions. The magic happens when diverse minds come together to address complex challenges and drive innovation forward – in an open and collaborative manner.

DTU Startup Day is the embodiment of what the innovation ecosystem stands for. Besides showcasing the vast and diverse cohort of startups, DTU Startup Day is also the day where we invite the world around us to experience what innovation ecosystems rooted in universities are capable of. Together with students, collaborators, researchers, and investors, we meet to discuss the translation of innovative ideas into sustainable business models for the benefit of society.

I want to thank all students, staff, and collaborators for making DTU Startup Day 2023 a reality. Let’s celebrate our close collaboration.”
