Great research doesn’t automatically translate into impact💡
Research teams can have strong science, promising results and a clear understanding of the problem they are solving, while building the path from research to real-world impact often requires a different set of skills.
Sometimes, the missing piece is the right co-founder.
Open Entrepreneurship DKs Co-Founder Run connects research-based teams with experienced commercial profiles and potential co-founders who can bring complementary perspectives, skills and networks to the team. 🚀
The Autumn 2026 round is now open to research-based teams affiliated with Danish universities, including Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, that are ready to actively explore bringing a co-founder into their journey.
Whether you are working within life sciences, deep tech, digital technologies or solutions addressing major societal challenges, this could be an opportunity to strengthen your team and take the next step towards impact.
đź“… Application deadline: 14 September 2026
Interested in learning more first? Join the online information meeting for pre-startups on 3 September 2026 from 12:00 to 13:00.
