I løbet af januar vil der ske noget helt nyt indenfor dansk iværksætteri. Det vil for første gang nogensinde være muligt, at få et overblik over hvilke idéer og områder der bliver innoveret indenfor på de danske vidensinstitutioner. Universiteternes fælles iværksætterkonkurrence, Venture Cup, kan i dag offentliggøre hvilke idéer fra landets studerende og forskere der skal dyste om præmier for over 100.000 ved 5 industri-specifikke kategorifinaler.
"Det er helt unikt, at vi nu har muligheden for, at kunne spotte landsdækkende trends indenfor innovation og iværksætteri på de danske universiteter" udtaler direktør for Venture Cup, Tine Thygesen. "Allerførst, er det en helt general trend blandt universitetsstuderende og forskere, at de I langt højere grad vil være iværksættere og er utrolig handlekraftige og innovative" uddyber Tine, med en henvisning til den procentmæssige stigning på 37% i antallet af idéer ifht. forrige år.
Imens verdens ledere river sig i håret i frustration over, at en global klimaaftale gik i vasken i december, tager danske studerende og forskere tyren ved hornene når det kommer til, at finde løsninger på hvordan vi tackler klima-udfordringerne. "Vi har oplevet en enorm interesse fra forskerne og de studerende indenfor cleantech-området. Det er faktisk sådan, at vi sidste år kun havde 7% af idéer indenfor cleantech - i år er det tal 18 %." udtaler Tine Thygesen.
Hvilke andre trends der vil farve fremtidens virksomheder vil blive afgjort når de absolut bedste idéer skal konkurrere ved de 5 kategori finaler: Cleantech, Applied Technology, Software, Life Science & Medtech og Services i løbet af Januar :
Applied Technology: 14. Januar på Stjerneskibet i Odense
Services: 20. Januar på RUC
Life Science & Medtech: 21. Januar på COBIS i København
Software: 27. Januar på Cassiopaia I Aalborg
Cleantech: 28. Januar på Incuba Science Park i Århus
En bred jury af over 100 forskellige erhvervsfolk, iværksættere og investorer har i løbet af december nøje udvalgt 8 finalister i hver af de fem kategorier. Nedenfor er den fulde liste over de nominerede hold samt en kort beskrivelse af deres idé. Bemærk at listen er i en vilkårlig rækkefølge.
