For a country with such high ambitions in innovation and entrepreneurship, there is little choice when it comes to entrepreneurial education in Denmark. Some say true entrepreneurs are born - but a great crash course in business fundamentals with inspiring guest speakers who share their success stories can help convert a hesitating student or employee into a successful entrepreneur.
