Did you know the Crown Prince of Denmark, Prince Frederik, sometimes attends with a couple of trumpet-playing courtiers?

1. Over 70 countries from around the world compete at the Creative Business Cup Global Finals. It truly is like the Olympics of startups. It will make your heart sing and it will restore your faith in humanity. For real. In an increasingly divided world, creative startups are a uniting force.
2. This year, the event is introducing an entire theme built around the idea of “Bright.” Why? Because what happens each year at Creative Business Cup is a celebration of bright ideas, bright minds, bright  innovation, and bright lights. In fact, this event moved from November to July, so  that our attendees and startups can experience Copenhagen during the summer when the sun stays out until midnight. In fact, don’t forget to bring your sunglasses. You can wear them at midnight.

4. Blockchain is not just for cryptocurrency. In fact, it’s an important technology for creative startups. This year, we’re embracing it and tackling it as a part of our foundational program. The more you know about blockchain, the more successful you’ll be as an entrepreneur.
5. Did you know that playfulness encourages creative thinking and innovation – in all companies – even the big corporate ones? Leaders and founders need to inspire creativity and creative thought, which leads to innovation, and disruption – and discovery of new ways of thinking. We embrace that idea and you’ll be hearing a lot about introducing playfulness into your company’s culture.
6. Opportunities and deal flow are very much a part of the mission. We bring startups together with some of the most influencial investors in the world. Imagine being face-to-face with access to capital as a startup. It’s powerful.
