Strongest hardware programme in DK
What is Danish Tech Challenge?
Danish Tech Challenge is a hardware accelerator programme that runs from August until December. During this time, the programme is all about you and your startup.
You become part of the strongest hardware network in Denmark. Each week, we’ll take you through crucial themes that are important for your development.
In order to qualify and concretise your work, we spend hours asking you all the questions you don’t want us to ask. But in the end, you will be glad that we did.
During the program, we offer you day to day sparring and advice. Each week will include meetings with either us or our own experts. We may also call on external partners and advisors to help you.
Your DTC colleagues
A total of 20 companies join Danish Tech Challenge each year. Do yourself a favour and see the other startups as an advantage to the programme rather than as competitors. The network between you is a huge asset to you and your startup.
During the accelerator programme – and before it officially starts – you’ll hang out with the other startups. We’ll have weekly lunches and several dinners, present weekly themes and share ideas. Sometimes it’s just us, and sometimes we invite external professionals to join us.
Be part of great events
Before, during and after the programme, you will participate actively in several events. There will be a kick-off event before you start the programme, an open house event in November where all startups pitch in front of a large audience, and of course the annual VIP award show where we announce the winner.
… and all the extra fun stuff
When it comes to getting to know each other and having fun, we organise ping pong tournaments, invite to Friday bars, throw a Christmas party and much more. If you want to throw a party amongst your DTC colleagues, we’ll without doubt support it.
