The project aims to create growth in the Region of Southern Denmark by preparing young companies and entrepreneurs for participation in Scale-Up Denmark. The project has direct effects when companies are referred to Scale Up verticals, but also a number of important indirect effects, as the companies/entrepreneurs are far better equipped for survival, capital attraction and to use other offers after the project’s implementation.Renset for derived effects and subsequently Scale-Up course, the project itself delivers 120 new jobs, DKK 84 million in mérturn and DKK 7.2 million in mérexport. 30 companies are expected to be referred to Scale Up.In the project, a fine meshed network is thrown over the Region of Southern Denmark to identify potential candidates for Scale Up Denmark. The project coordinates already existing initiatives and brings together the threads of existing initiatives in the municipalities, clusters, vocational schools, universities, entrepreneurial environments, co-working spaces, subregional units, private actors and others involved in entrepreneurship. The project identifies 250 entrepreneurs/new companies that lead to screening of 90 companies/entrepreneurs with 135 people for growth potential, fit with Scale-Up verticals and technical and commercial maturity, with a view to a development process that will enable the company/entity to meet the requirements of Scale Up Denmark. A plan is drawn up for the individual company and the company can receive training through:- Joint courses anchored in SDU or in the Academy of Management (too very young companies). There are at least 90 participants in at least 60 companies.- Common vertical-specific courses (for slightly more mature companies). At least 75 participants are participating in at least 50 companies in 3-5 verticals.- Personal sparring and coaching from an advisor with close follow-up (for companies that require a lot of help). There are at least 40 companies involved, or- Mentoring with minor follow-up (for companies that need to be managed on the right track, but otherwise they can themselves). At least 50 companies participate here.The project has a great focus on collecting companies that initially cannot achieve progress in Scale Up Denmark, but also send companies to other offers when this is the right thing for them.There is also work on recruitment throughout the country when it is known that there are companies ready to move to Southern Denmark.
