Entrepreneurs receive Sustainable Development Goals grants

The Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship and Tuborgfondet have joined forces to award grants to young entrepreneurs who want to create sustainable businesses based directly on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Many of the companies in Cphbusiness’ entrepreneurial community Inkubatoren work with sustainable concepts, and now three of the companies – Ideel Coffee, Twig and Konsus – have been rewarded with the grants for their efforts.
