Back in Copenhagen, Denmark where GrowthWheel was founded

On June 21-22, we are back in our own turf with a Certification Course in the GrowthWheel Office in central Copenhagen.

Every year we have about 4-5 courses in Denmark, which means that our many Danish partner organizations always have the opportunity to get new staff certified. We are looking forward to seeing new advisors on board, and as always we welcome a few familiar faces for a free re-certification. More than 400 business advisors are using GrowthWheel in Denmark through the partnership we have with The Danish Business Authority (Ministry of Economics and Growth).  

We are looking forward to welcoming participants from a wide range of organizations including Vaeksthus Zealand, Vaeksthus Copenhagen, and Vaeksthus Southern Denmark.  

Other participants:
- CoLearning
- D2i
- Design to Innovate
- MARCOD
- Skiveegnens erhvervs- ogturistcenter
- Slagelse Erhvervscenter
- Sønderborg Vækstråd
- Vordingborg Erhverv
