To everyone interested in start-ups,
dear young entrepreneurs (to be),

We are very excited to invite you to join us and the ever-growing German-Danish start-up community at the "conVenture - nordic Start-Up convention".

PLACE & TIME:
On Thursday, 21 November 2019
in the Audimax at 4 p.m.
(Thomas-Fincke-Str. 18, D-24943 Flensburg)

There will be two great start-up stories with exciting insights into the world of entrepreneurship. And they are just two among a number of highlights awaiting you:

• Keynote from Ulrik Ortiz Rasmussen (Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein): Ulrik will honour us with a keynote with a very promising title: "Entrepreneurs are the elite of today's society!"
  It will be about the value of disruptive innovations, the art of creating business and takings risks.
  
  
• Pitching-Session: For the first time we will have four really short pitches from Start-Ups that have a booth at our Start-Up Pier. It will happen between the two Start-Up Stories (see below). 

The two Start-up Stories we have for you this time are:  

• How to scale a niche.
  Janus Beck Wilke (Blue Monkeys in Space / BodyMod) will take us on a journey into their internationally running business - and all started from the small town Augustenborg (near Sønderborg) with less than 4.000 inhabitants. They found a big niche and they will share their story with us.
  
  
• Founding a foreign idea. Trust the unexpected.
  Tobias Schütz and Lennart Hahn (Pinball Factory) will give us a brief look into the matter of starting your own company with a foreign idea. This is also a perfect opportunity to start your own business when you team up with someone that has many good business ideas in mind but not enough time to realise them all alone.
