Open Entrepreneurship is a Danish initiative aiming to be a world-leading technology commercialization community to benefit society.In Denmark, we have excellent and leading researchers, but how can their knowledge and efforts benefit society? 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 society.We will capture the value through an action-oriented approach by connecting experienced entrepreneurs with researchers very early on to explore commercial and innovative opportunities. These can either be entrepreneurial (spinout or startup company) or intrapreneurial (within the university, company or organization).This way, the research team has a much deeper understanding of their options, which helps the existing commercial ecosystem on the universities, i.e. tech transfer units and business development units. By doing so, Open Entrepreneurship will expand and further develop the existing ecosystem into a technology commercialization community. All methods used in Open Entrepreneurship are research-based and recognized.Open Entrepreneurship is a collaborative initiative: Danish partner universities are Aalborg University, Aarhus University, Copenhagen Business School, IT University of Copenhagen, Roskilde University, Technical University of Denmark & University of Copenhagen. Californian UC Berkeley is the strategic partner. Together we utilize our extensive networks to build bridges between industry, universities, sectors and national borders.Open Entrepreneurship is powered by the Danish Industry Foundation.
