What is COPENMIND? |

COPENMIND is a groundbreaking exhibition and conference devoted to research and technology partnerships. COPENMIND creates a global and dedicated forum in Copenhagen, Denmark and enables an intellectual matchmaking between universities and research institute exhibitors and company representatives.

Representatives meet in Copenhagen to exhibit their skills, be inspired by new technology and network.
COPENMIND Conference: The forum for solving mutual problems and sharing best practice between universities/research institutes and industry is through presentations, seminars and workshops.
COPENMIND Mindflow: A tailored brain trust created to identify global solutions to global challenges. Significant topics are examined by selected experts from universities, research institute, companies and the world of politics.
