The fund Delphinus Venture Capital, established by Aarhus University Research Foundation, HEARTLAND, Norlys, and Salling Group, has raised DKK 600 million with the ambition to support companies all the way from their first ideas to international scaling. The establishment was marked with a reception, where investors, entrepreneurs, and partners were invited to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter for the Aarhus startup ecosystem.

When more than 200 investors, founders and partners gather for the Aarhus Investor Summit at Aarhus City Hall, it is also here that the winners of the INCUBA Award 2025 will be announced. The award honours the start-ups and investors who lead the way and inspire others with their efforts in the Central Jutland start-up ecosystem. This year's nominees in the two categories are now ready: Startup of the Year and Investor of the Year.

On 9 October, Aarhus Investor Summit will once again bring together investors and startups at Aarhus City Hall. This year's theme is The US Shift – What it means for Europe's investors and founders, and the afternoon will feature panel debates, keynotes, founder interviews, startup pitches and plenty of networking. If you are an investor, you can look forward to a strong programme and unique insight into how American trends are affecting Danish founders and investors. If you are a startup and would like to pitch on stage, please contact Lars Louring.
