Considering starting your own company?

Vaeksthus+ is DTU’s initiative to encourage and facilitate entrepreneurship among, students and researchers.

Starting your own company is a difficult task. It takes a lot of skills, experience and hard work to succeed. In Vaeksthus+ our first priority is to help future entrepreneurs preparing for the great challenges ahead.

Based on lessons learned from previous successful start-up ventures and practical hands-on experiences we strive to maintain a comprehensive knowledge on opportunity-driven entrepreneurship and regional preconditions for business start-ups.

As the future entrepreneurs we meet are at different stages of the process we always customize each course to match the skills of the involved participants as well as the business potential and sustainability of the project.

You are always welcome to contact us for an informal talk on your idea or project!
