This is not another trade exhibition. COPENMIND facilitates a level of technology transfer and economic matchmaking that has never been seen before. In today’s global society, knowledge is the most valuable currency. Yet, the cooperation between science and business holds a potential that has not been fully exploited so far. It is in this highly charged vacuum that COPENMIND sets out to manifest itself as a catalyst for new business opportunities, new technology and new solutions. The aim is to establish new research partnerships and an intellectual greenhouse from which new solutions and new business opportunities will grow.
While the aim for COPENMIND will always be to establish technology transfer and research partnerships between the university and the business worlds, the topic for each event will be different. COPENMIND 2008 will focus on cleantech, while the themes in 2009 and 2010 will be energy and health, respectively
COPENMIND comprises a range of events.
COPENMIND Exhibition
The annual marketplace where more than 100 universities worldwide get a unique opportunity to put their skills and technologies on display in front of a global, corporate audience. Representatives meet in Copenhagen to exhibit their skills, be inspired by new technology and to network.
COPENMIND Conference
The forum for solving mutual problems and sharing best practices through presentations, seminars and workshops. Both universities and companies can host and take part in the conference. New ideas are promoted, research needs are identified and new partnerships come to light.
COPENMIND Mindflow
A tailored brain trust created to identify global solutions to global challenges. Significant topics are examined by selected delegates from universities, companies and the political world. The conclusions, recommendations and future implementation strategies are showcased at the final day of COPENMIND Conference. We call it COPENMIND Mindflow, and the minds involved will belong to some of the world’s leading thinkers.
COPENMIND is all about crossing boundaries, professionally as well as geographically. The challenges that the world faces today are of a global nature. So should the solutions be. COPENMIND is based on the belief that we already possess the knowledge needed to solve our problems. The challenge is to create the right alliances.
