KU Innovators

KU Innovators is an entrepreneurship programme for students and PhD students with an idea or an existing startup. The programme is open for student innovators at University of Copenhagen.

Over five workshops we will delve into your strengths, your motivation, your individual story, and your ability to ask relevant questions, prioritize tasks, and attract relevant partners and customers. You'll be introduced to and work with tools and methods that can help you take the next steps to make your idea a reality or develop your business. 

Key skills and concepts of KU Innovators:

  • Understanding your target group and (future) customers
  • Building and testing hypothesis 
  • Using a business model as a process tool
  • Sustainable sale and the sales situation
  • Budgets and funding opportunities
  • Communication and pitching

During KU Innovators, you will build a strong network of new and experienced entrepreneurs across UCPH, working with a wide span of subjects and industries.

KU Innovators runs 4 times a year

Choose the programme that fits best in your education plan. There are 40 places on each course, which are allocated on a first come first served basis. KU Innovators is a coherent course, and we expect you to participate in all five workshops.

Since the most crucial development of your idea happens outside the workshops, we also expect you to dedicate time working with your idea between each workshop. If you get ECTS for your project please note that the work hours must match the requirements of the amount of ECTS.

You can participate on your own or as a team (teams must have a least one active student at UCPH).
