Cph Wednesday - Transnational Entrepreneurship
General information
The Copenhagen Wednesday on Transnational Entrepreneurship on November 17th (Global Entrepreneurship Week) went really well. There was a good turnout (app. 45 students of which the majority were international students), the participants were engaged, and the topic and discussions were relevant. It is clear that transnational entrepreneurship is on the rise and that we need to remove both the formal and informal barriers to this type of entrepreneurship. There was a very positive attitude towards instigating an entrepreneur visa and some more social events where Danes and internationals meet for mutual inclusion and sparring.
This event served to inform and inspire both participants and hosts. Most importantly, it was an open brainstorm on how to improve the circumstances for transnational entrepreneurship with focus on the role of universities and surrounding institutions. Students from a broad variety of countries got together to share their experiences. The main topics discussed is summed up here:
- What is it?
- What are the conditions in the Øresund Region (pressures, opportunities & challenges)?
- How can we better attract, include and keep international entrepreneurial talents? – Our ideas in relation to the TE project in terms of new initiatives and policy ‘improvements’ and your views on how to improve student retention. How can we make it more attractive to stay in the Øresund Region and start a business?

What's transnational entrepreneurship?
By travelling both physically and virtually, transnational entrepreneurs engage simultaneously in two or more socially embedded environments, allowing them to maintain critical global relations that enhance their ability to creatively and efficiently maximize their resource base.
At the event above we will reflect on the value of formal and informal institutions and further define the practical initiatives, which should be implemented to attract, keep, and benefit from transnational entrepreneurs.
