Not on the list? 

If the jury did not nominate your idea for the Regional Final, you may still have good reason to use the feedback to develop your idea and hopefully turn it into a successful business. A perfect example is the company Friprint, who did not qualify for the final last year, despite high hopes. They continued their work and have now started their own business. They have had great interest in their services from all over Europe and have recently partnered with the international high-tech company Samsung. Friprint is a service providing students with free print. You can read more on the official website at www.friprint.dk.

If you do choose to continue working on your idea, be sure to take advantage of our offerings in the spring – stay tuned via the regional YouNoodle group. We can also advise you on alternative opportunities like IDEA House, CONNECT Denmark, entrepreneurship courses, your local Væksthus, etc.
