We just reached a key milestone: Demo Day. On November 26, our second program cohort, partners, and the wider ecosystem, celebrated the acceleration of the development of sustainable cities – together in a hybrid format. 50 people attended live from the Danish Architecture Center whilst 100+ others watched the live broadcast on Hopin.

How it all fits together
This is all done through Urbantech – an innovation program for the world’s most promising and innovative technology startups. Three Danish corporates, COWI, VKR Holding / VELUX and EWII are behind the initiative with support from the philanthropic organisations Realdania and the Danish Industry Foundation. The program is run by Rainmaking in collaboration with BLOXHUB, Danish Design Centre and Danish Architecture Center.
