For Partners and Sponsors only

This is the second workshop in our series of three startup connect workshops which will focus on investing in startups.

There is no one answer to how you should engage with a startup and each distinctive method has its pros and cons. The different ways for engaging are not mutually exclusive, overlap in innovation efforts are natural, yet it is important that you have a clear purpose for each engagement that you do.

At this series of innovation workshops we will focus on what the best-practices are and learn from actual cases. This series is exclusively for partners and sponsors of Copenhagen FinTech.

We will invite startups, academia and industry experts to share their thoughts and knowledge around the three topics.

Investing in Startups

This masterclass we will explore why you as a financial institution would invest in startups, what the different options are for how to do it and the associated pros/cons. We are lucky to have a full agenda with impressive speakers who have done the journey and will share their experiences and learnings. The format is a workshop where we co-create the output together and most of the time is dedicated to discussion.

Join us at this presentation, where you will learn more about how to build meaning and purpose for yourself and others.

When we as leaders create a sense of direction for our selves and the people we are responsible towards, we create a sense of meaning. The engaging direction contains a clear perspective of the future and clear expectations on how to step into that future. When we add a sense of belonging and a sense of contribution we also create a sense of meaning. When leaders build a clear sense of direction, belonging and contrubition we build a deep sense of meaning of WHY we are doing what we are doing. In this workshop you will explore the power of meaning and how to engage others.

Your personal and professional outcome:

• You will investigate how to support the sense of meaning and purpose within your team and department.

• You will learn more about how to create 1) an engaging direction, 2) a loyal tribe and 3) a deep sense of contribution.

• You will get inspiration on how to build supporting leadership.

• You will get a sense of your personal purpose-profile and discover how you build meaning for others and how many different types of meaning making there is.

• You will be presented to a very practical approach on how to build a sense of meaning, purpose and WHY.
