✨ Yesterday, the in-person segment of the Copenhagen Bootcamp Week kicked off, and it couldn’t have started better!
We began the day with Claus Bøttcher Jørgensen, Academic Director for Copenhagen Business School MSc in Innovation in Healthcare, who warmly welcomed participants to Copenhagen Business School.
The first session featured Hans Jørgen Wiberg, founder of Be My Eyes, who shared the inspiring story behind his company and offered invaluable insights and lessons learned from his journey as a social and patient entrepreneur.
Next, Nicolas Bouchet from Health Tech Hub Copenhagen guided participants through the complexities of fundraising and go-to-market strategies for health tech founders — a session packed with practical advice and real-world examples.
After lunch, Ana Catarina Araújo Silva led a dynamic session on Hard Lessons in Building MedTech Products, sharing hands-on experiences that deeply resonated with the group.
In the afternoon, we visited the BioInnovation Institute(BII), hosted by Markus Herrgård, Chief Technology Officer at BII. Markus introduced BII’s mission and programs supporting innovators and invited two incredible healthcare startups —3Sonic and Dandelion Diagnostics — to present their work and inspire our participants.
To wrap up the day, we headed to Carlsberg for a guided tour exploring the history of the Carlsberg Foundation, followed by a lovely dinner at the Home of Carlsberg, joined by some of the speakers who will be with us throughout the week.
A huge thank you to everyone (also to Mie Maahr Hegelund for the continued support and coordination) for such an enriching first day — we returned to the hotel tired, but truly happy and inspired 💡💙
