Tailored course is to start the entrepreneurial fire in young researchers
21 June 2022
At the end of May, 55-60 younger researchers from the computer science departments across Denmark attended a course on entrepreneurship.
The future is digital and a key goal for Denmark is to make sure that some of the next generation of digital tech startups are created in Denmark.
For DIREC we especially would like to help create new digital startups in Denmark based on research that will give the startup a unique competitive advantage.
How do you start a business based on state-of-the-art research? How can you go from being a researcher to being a entrepreneur? What particular challenges are facing deep tech spin-out startups?
In DIREC, we want to train and prepare digital researchers in creating startup companies based on their research. We organize courses and collect best-practice to achieve the goal.
It can be hard to control when a research idea is ready to be transformed into a startup, but we want to give the researchers working in DIREC the best possible support and opportunities for creating startups based on their research.
In DIREC, we want to support the community around digital tech startups by providing meeting places for upcoming entrepreneurs. One example is the conference Digital Tech Summit which invites entrepreneurs from all Danish universities to attend and share their experiences.
