The investment landscape around the Odense’s ecosystem has been growing exponentially since 2015, at the beginning of 2020 surpassing the 800m EUR. With a vibrant community gathered around the local robotics cluster, we have registered over 130 active VC investors, 85...
Robots that deliver shuttlecocks to world-class players, carry players’ bags on to the court and even serve beer to VIP guests. These are just some of the ways in which TV viewers and spectators will see automation in action during VICTOR DENMARK OPEN in Odense this week. It’s part of a massive city branding and business promotion initiative, which experts describe as both “creative” and “business savvy”.

With current technology, it will take more than 70 years and cost 33.5 billion euros to demine Ukraine, which has a mined area of 144,000 sq. km. Now, a Ukrainian tech entrepreneur in Denmark aims to make demining Ukraine cheaper, faster and safer. He has moved to Odense to accelerate development of his robotics and drone solution after being selected by Odense Robotics StartUp Fund for a place at the incubator at DTI. Part of the solution is already being manufactured and tested in Ukraine.
International startup moves to Denmark to develop software to improve data security and prevent robots from being hacked. Mentors from the Odense Robotics StartUp Fund and the robot incubator at the Danish Technological Institute will help the solution on its way.
In an exciting development for Odense’s life science sector, Evosep is relocating to new premises in Odense, aiming to increase both production and laboratory capacity.
