ÅRHAUS, Denmark, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zensai, the only
AI-powered learning, employee engagement, and performance
management platform built into Microsoft 365 and Teams, announced
it has been recognized amongst the top Danish tech companies
achieving unicorn status, according to a new study conducted by The
Danish Chamber of Commerce. The report, Denmark: A Unicorn Factory, zeros-in on key
trends to help foster growth and retention across established and
emerging Danish unicorns. Zensai's inclusion solidifies that
Denmark stands with the company's
mission of making humans more successful.
With the Age of AI and emerging tools bringing a technological
revolution to every business today, Zensai is honored to be
included amongst the companies surveyed in today's report who are
elevating Danish innovation and solving for some of the most
pressing societal and environmental challenges around the world
today.
Based on data from Dealroom, The Danish Chamber of Commerce
conducted a comprehensive analysis of Europe's tech landscape, unpacking key
findings across Europe's unicorns
and most promising startups. The study, which was completed on
August 28, 2024, includes companies
founded from 2000 and onwards that have reached a valuation of
1 billion USD or more based on a
funding round, acquisition or an IPO.
Key Findings:
- Denmark has the highest number
of rising unicorns at 7.7 per million capita, outpacing UK and
Finland.
- 12 unicorns in total have been founded in Denmark, with 8 (70%) of them have moved their
headquarters abroad to other countries with better regulatory
frameworks to scale.
- Denmark has 46 rising unicorns
in total, with rising unicorns defined as companies who have raised
at least 50M US$ in capital since the
year 2000.
- Denmark offers free education,
resulting in a well-educated population that has been culturally
encouraged to think creatively and critically, contributing to its
high number of unicorns.
- Better access to foreign talent and better conditions for IPO's
ranked as most crucial to keep unicorns in Denmark.
The study further interviewed 10 founders of unicorns and
promising startups on the most crucial barriers in Denmark when it comes to fostering and keeping
unicorns in Denmark. Access to
talent, funding, innovation, and the cultivation of a strong
entrepreneurial culture were amongst the collective framework
conditions for current and emerging unicorns.
Zensai's CEO, Rasmus Holst
stated, "To foster a thriving startup environment, Denmark must create better synergies between
international talent and funding and the startups in Denmark. We need a setup where both
international talents and co-founders easily can come and work for
Danish Startups. We also need to ensure that they are incentivized
by a tax infrastructure that rewards outcome for both founders and
investors. Finally, building partnerships with international
investment ecosystems, like in Silicon Valley, is vital to develop
vehicles for them to make Danish startups more attractive – we have
the talent we lack the scaled funding infrastructure."
