It is now 15 years since 1st Mile was born in Søren Houmøller’s living room on a half-thought-out business idea that relentlessly met reality in the form of the financial crisis shortly after.
15 years later, the business model is sharp, and the team of 10 people each year secures funding for innovation, development of new technologies, and commercial upscaling for a significant three-digit million amount from Danish and European development programmes.
We celebrate the day with ultra-short pitches from 10 companies, which we expect will be the background for good networking and dialogue for the afternoon. To be completely sure, we serve something good for the palate, washed down with French single field champagne, Californian wine, and microbrews from Gamma Brewing Company.
We look forward to seeing you.
