Open Entrepreneurship is a Danish initiative aiming to bridge the gap between the academic world and the industry.
Experienced entrepreneurs are essential
The path to successful technology transfer between universities and business is happening by challenging the traditional approach, where researchers open companies or occupy leadership roles in companies.
Studies have shown that matching research teams with experienced and external entrepreneurs creates more sustainable businesses. This commercialization catalyzes the research and knowledge into products or processes that generate value to the society.
Experienced entrepreneurs are in other words essential for creating a successful sustainable business by guiding the immature research-based start-ups towards the right direction.
Why join the E-corps and potentially the journey from idea to a startup?
In Open Entrepreneurship, we focus on creating the framework for external entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to develop start-ups in collaboration with researchers at universities. This is done by inviting entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to the universities, where they will have an active role in maturing the technology.
By joining the Open Entrepreneurship network (E-corps) you can be part of shaping pre-startups long before they emerge.
Onboarding
Primarily, we onboard new members of our E-corps on recommendation of already enrolled members.
