Ecosystem Support

The ‘entrepreneurial ecosystem’ is our label for the many organisations and initiatives that support and promote entrepreneurship at the three partner universities – startup incubators, student organisations, networks, and competitions.

Ecosystem support projects

The ecosystem support projects are a portfolio of projects that enhance the ecosystem by drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of our partners. The projects focus on gathering and sharing knowledge between us. This way, we can raise the quality of the entire entrepreneurial support system. In 2012, we initiated the following projects:

  • TeamUp

    Cross-disciplinary matchmaking for student startups in collaboration with the Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE).

  • Student’s Guide to Entrepreneurship

    A map of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Copenhagen area – use it to kickstart your idea! The map is a collaborative project with Katalyst, Katapult, CSE, Venture Cup, Createch, Foundable, Gate to Create and Next Generation. Check out the online version of the map .

  • Internationalisation

Support for Student Activities

In recent years, there have been quite a few student initiatives that transform universities through innovative, entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary activities. on the Copenhagen campuses, student initiatives are blossoming and we love to collaborate and share ideas with these ambitious student groups.

With the CIEL platform, we wish to create a forum to facilitate student collaboration, and we are experimenting with new ways to involve students in our own activities – for example, by linking our projects with student-run activities outside the classroom. This was the case when we teamed up with the interdisciplinary student organisation Begriff for an event in order to address the themes of the forthcoming national innovation strategy.
