Your shortcut to soft funding: Meet Gate2Growth at Funding Bazaar 2025

On 2 October, you can meet Gate2Growth at Funding Bazaar 2025 – Denmark’s only reverse pitching event dedicated to hardware and deep tech. While Gate2Growth isn’t a traditional investor, the company plays a crucial role in the startup ecosystem by helping ambitious founders secure funding early, before investors typically step in.

Gate2Growth is ready to meet new founders again this year, just like they did at Funding Bazaar 2024.

Funding Bazaar is the perfect place to meet impact-driven startups. The level is impressive, and we’re looking forward to meeting as many as possible – especially those still shaping their potential.

As the soft funding partner in DTU Science Park, we gain access to a strong community of research-driven, tech-focused, and innovation-led companies, says Nikolaj Sørensen, Funding Consultant at Gate2Growth.

This close collaboration with founders and advisors provides valuable insight into emerging technologies and ideas, often at an early stage.

It gives us not only exciting collaboration opportunities, but also access to potential consortium partners and new knowledge that strengthens our advisory work, he adds.

Who should talk to Gate2Growth at Funding Bazaar?

Funding Bazaar gathers startups, scaleups, and research-driven companies across a wide range of technologies and ambitions. But which companies are the best fit for Gate2Growth?
