The companies expect a rise in revenue of 8,5 billion DKR
Accelerace is one of the four operators that run the Scale-Up Denmark centers. Since the initiative was launched a little more than 18 months ago, 145 companies have been through the elite training program. The general assessment among the startups is that the program has had a significant positive impact on them, and according to Scale-Up Denmark the companies expect a rise in revenue of 8,5 billion Danish kroner during the coming five years after having participated in the program.
Scale-Up Denmark was launched by the five Danish Regions, the Confederation of Danish Industry, the Danish Business Authority, and The Danish Chamber of Commerce. The goal was to create more and larger growth companies in Denmark. Scale-Up Denmark offers potential growth companies to participate in an elite training program which results in a strategy for accelerated growth.
The Scale-Up Denmark Grand Finale sets an important agenda
The initiative has now passed half of its lifetime and so far the results are successful. For
every Danish krone that the public sector has put into the program, eight kroner have been attracted from private investors.
“Growth, expansion, and innovation in small and medium-sized companies are a crucial part of the companies creating new jobs and have a strong position in the global competition. Scale-Up Denmark’s elite training programs play an important part in leveraging the startups. With the Grand Finale, Scale-Up Denmark sets a very important agenda for the industrial development in Denmark,” says Brian Mikkelsen, CEO at The Danish Chamber of Commerce.]]>
