Industriens Fond just put 60M DKK behind Bioinnovation Institute to launch AI Lab, the biggest single AI initiative Denmark has run.
The line from CEO Thomas Hofman-Bang is the one worth keeping.
What does AI agency actually look like at platform scale?
That’s the bet. Not catching the US. Building a model that travels.
The Industriens Fond (IF) and BioInnovation Institute (BII) will both be at TechBBQ in August. See you there!

Europe built DeepMind.
Then we sold it to Google for £400 million.
It started in London. It doesn’t live here anymore.
Someone’s building the next one right now. The question is whether we keep it.
Come and join the conversation at TechBBQ 2026. 26–27 August, Copenhagen.

Building a company is exhausting.
Few founders ever fully exhale.
The Longevity Lounge — TechBBQ 2025.
Float beds. Eye masks. Sound therapy.
No phones. No pitches. No performance.
Cortisol –39%.
Focus +24%.
The line was longer than the one for coffee.
Founders rarely give themselves
permission to stop.
26–27 August 2026.
Bella Center · Copenhagen.
Europe builds the best open-source AI models in the world.
No one uses them.
That’s the diagnosis from the founder who just sold Silo AI to AMD for $665M.
Zero EU companies have crossed €100B from scratch in 50 years.
Six US companies have crossed $1 trillion in that same window.
Are we still trying to build Europe’s OpenAI — or should we build the talent layer underneath it?

The early-career trap, in one line.
“You don’t have a lot of ownership, so you don’t get a good feedback loop.”
Anton Osika — co-founder, Lovable.
Young + real ownership compounds faster than experience + tiny scope.
What’s the youngest person on your team allowed to own?

Capital follows market size. Not the other way around.
European founders keep blaming VCs. Christian Thrane (CEO, Nuuday) flipped it on the TechBBQ 2025 stage:
If investors don’t believe scale is possible, no deck saves the round. The funding gap is often a market gap in disguise.
Which European market is actually too small for venture math?
#TechBBQ #CapitalTruth
The next unicorn will be one person.
Not 50,000 employees. Not 100,000.
AI just rewrote what scale even means — and Denmark was already built for it.
Small teams. Real product. Capital efficient by default.
Are big companies the future, or the past?

AI security risk is real. But the cost of being left behind is also real — and most regulated companies are only measuring one side of that equation.
Compass Bank's Michael Andersen on the AI risk calculus nobody talks about at TechBBQ.
