Global Entrepreneurship Week / Denmark

    Global Entrepreneurship week in Denmark

    On the 17th -22nd of November, the Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs will be hosting the Entrepreneurship Week in Denmark in collaboration with a great number of partners from both private and public sector – operating on national, regional and local levels. 

    The campaign will focus on enterprises and education and the vision is to encourage and support entrepreneurs in Denmark, and engage people in general in the essential debate on how to support and strengthen innovation, entrepreneurship and growth in Denmark.

    The ministry has put down a campaign secretariat situated in the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority, which is currently – in collaboration with all the partners in the campaign – working on putting together an exiting programme.

    So far the plan is to set off by a summit hosted by the Minister of Economic and Business Affairs who will invite a number of influential top leaders and key stakeholders from other sectors to debate on entrepreneurship. Several new analysis and initiatives on entrepreneurship will be published by the Ministry of Econimic and Business Affairs at the summit, followed by a number of national events during the week.

    The Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Activities and Culture, The International Danish Entrepreneurship Academy and Øresund Entrepreneurship Academy will arrange a number of national activities focusing on education and entrepreneurship, and the regional events will be organized by the Business Link Denmark focusing on five main topics: Financing, Human Resource and Management, Sales and Marketing, Technology and Innovation and Internationalization.

    These are just some of the partners and ideas for the campaign. If you want to join the campaign, run an event or just share your thoughts, don’t hesitate to contact the secretariat:
