Your professional profile

When you register, you are asked to set up a profile. After approval, your profile will be visible on the website.

As this event is mainly a match-making event, the goal is to arrange as many meetings as possible with relevant stakeholders in advance of the Fair, and the information in your profile and business opportunity case description is a crucial part of that process.

How to create a business opportunity

Create a strong business opportunity and make it clear and concise. Your BO should describe what your invention is, what you can offer potential partners and what you are looking for; type of investor, investment, co-founders, partners to license your technology etc. A good business opportunity will significantly generate more meetings. Don't forget your BO will also be visible after the event.

Give an overview of the following:

• Problem you are trying to solve
• How your invention or spinout provides a solution
• Team background and competencies
• Achievements/milestones to date
• What you are looking for and why, i.e. investment, resources, industry collaboration etc.
• Go-to-market strategy, when relevant
• Growth strategy, when relevant

Please note that only the first approx. 170 characters will be visible (along with the title) when browsing the business opportunities of this year’s NIF. So it is important that the first 170 characters entice the reader to click the title to read more. The full overview has no word limit, but we suggest maximum 1 A4 page of text.

Please find more information about how to create a business opportunity here.

If you have any trouble creating your Business Opportunity, please reach out to your TTO or Kasper Malling Kjer from Nordic Innovation Fair at kmk@adm.ku.dk.
