Venture Cup is the world's largest business plan competition. Our goal is to inspire and encourage students and researchers to develop their ideas into successful companies.
Since Venture Cup's foundation in Denmark in 2000, we have experienced high growth rates in participation, support and interest. Venture Cup, as an organisation, has expanded greatly and now covers all of Denmark in five regions: Copenhagen, Zealand, Southern Denmark, Mid Jutland and Northern Jutland.
Each year Venture Cup is in contact with more than 19,000 students interested in entrepreneurship from the Danish universities. We work to inspire, encourage and empower students to become entrepreneurs and more than 1000 students participate in Venture Cup every year.
Venture Cup is continuously improving and becoming better positioned to reach our goal of discovering new entrepreneurs. As you can see in this graph, Venture Cup each year sets new and even higher records for participation.
Venture Cup has been instrumental in the development of more than 80 new companies.
By 2009, Venture Cup alumni companies had created around 430 jobs, raised 155m dkk in investment capital and were contributing with more than 67m dkk a year to the Danish economy.
