THE KITCHEN

Are you a university spin-out or considering taking the first steps into the commercial side of research? Join us for a day focused on exploring the early stages of research-based spin-outs and the professional and personal journey from researcher to entrepreneur.

Spin-outs Denmark and the eight Danish universities invite spin-outs, future spin-outs, and researchers curious about commercializing their inventions to Spin-outs Day!

At the event, you will learn about the pathways, challenges, and opportunities involved in your spin-out journey. You will gain inspiration, expand your network, and receive practical insights to help your spin-out succeed.

The program will provide:

  • Practical insights into transitioning from researcher to entrepreneur.
  • Strategies for building teams that blend academic and commercial expertise.
  • Guidance on navigating funding opportunities and early-stage development.
  • Inspiration from spinout success stories to help you envision your journey.
  • Networking with other spin-outs and academics.

Whether you are already an established spin-out or just beginning to explore the idea of commercialization, this event is designed to provide you with the tools and knowledge to progress confidently.

We look forward to welcoming you to Aarhus University for a day filled with insights and networking!

Spin-out Denmark is funded by the Villum Foundation.
