Entrepreneurs take over Camp Ven #2015

By Tina Søndergaard Thorsen and Sisse Melsen

On the 14-16 of August, Camp Ven #2015 was held for the first time.  Entrepreneurs and startup players from the Øresund region were invited to spend the weekend on the island of Ven, located between Sweden and Denmark.  The concept was simple: to gather 50 people for an ‘unconference’ in idyllic surroundings.

The aim of the initiative is to bring the Øresund region even closer together and for participants to create stronger ties with their neighbors across the water, to help and support each other even more.
