Really opens doors
“We believe that Venture Cup has offered us opportunities to develop in Denmark and Scandinavia,” enthused Markos Romanos, the GreenTech 2015 category winner Klenergy.

“Winning the Venture Cup startup competition adds a lot credibility to our startup when speaking with interested stakeholders.”

Time getting short
