Open Entrepreneurship was established in 2017 as a pilot project at four Danish universities with support from the Danish Industry Foundation. All the Danish universities have joined, and in 2023 Open Entrepreneurship is expected to be an indispensable part of the innovative and value-creating food chain between research and companies. There is a special focus on commercializing research  within climate and environment, health, and digitalization.
