EXPLORE

EXPLORE is a two-month programme that runs twice a year for students from all Danish universities. Over five hands-on sessions at key places in Copenhagen's startup ecosystem, you practise entrepreneurial methods, meet students from other universities and disciplines, and find out where to go next with an idea.

You don't need an idea or a team to join. Every session mixes the teams, so you meet new people each time, and each one wraps up with a shared dinner.

Why join

• Practise entrepreneurial skills: ideation, pitching, networking and user discovery.
• Build a cross-university network: work with students from DTU, CBS, KU and beyond.
• Learn from founders: hear how student founders got started and built startups alongside their studies.
• Discover the ecosystem: get to know the university innovation hubs and how to get involved in what they offer next.

What you take away

• Insight into the Danish entrepreneurial ecosystem and where to test ideas within your university.
• Greater confidence in your ability to create change through new ideas and innovation.
• An understanding of why diversity and interdisciplinarity matter in teams.
• Collaboration skills to spark and develop ideas that could become a startup or business.

Who can join

EXPLORE is open to everyone enrolled as a bachelor, master or PhD student at a Danish university. It is a partnership between Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE), KU Lighthouse and DTU Skylab, with support from the Otto Mønsted Foundation.
