Venture Cup Denmark University Startup World Cup 2020

48

Application Deadline: June 14th 2020

Venture Cup Denmark hosted the first University Startup World Cup back in 2015 with 37 university startups from around the world. It turned out to be a great success, and it has been running ever since in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

Despite reaching millions of readers worldwide, meeting some of the largest companies in Denmark and winning significant cash prizes, one of the most remarkable things about the World Cup turned out to be the international network that the participants achieved after spending 5 days in Copenhagen. And even though some of the participants have since changed career path, are no longer studying and is not part of the international startup ecosystem, the network is still active today. 

The goal with University Startup World Cup is to feature the best university startups from around the world and give them a network which will help them grow – both businesswise and personally.
