the Next Generation of Innovators and Entrepreneurs

ITU NextGen is the Innovation and startup hub at the IT University of Copenhagen.
We offer activities available to all students to be inspired and develop skills. Students with the ambition to start their own business can also apply to join the incubator program and the startup hub.

Engagement is possible on many levels. From dipping your toes through participation in talks and workshops to get involved in hackathons and explorative programs. Or going all in and joining the startup incubator. The choice is yours!
