As someone new to Denmark, DTU, and the world of building startups, presenting my startup idea within a 3-minute window at the Digital Tech Summit, proved to be one of the most impactful moments of my life. I had the opportunity to engage in face-to-face discussions with individuals, whom I would typically not have had access to. These meetings significantly influenced my future research direction and broadened the horizons of my startup journey. The environment fostered at the Digital Tech Summit —where connections are made, communities are built, and collaboration is encouraged— might be a perfect example of a distinctively Danish approach.
