LAUNCH Nordic is working for a future where the making of things has a positive impact on global sustainability; a goal which Design School Kolding supports and shares. To meet this goal LAUNCH Nordic is seeking ambitious innovators with the potential to lower the environmental footprint of making and materials while increasing the economic and social welfare of the communities involved.

LAUNCH Nordic is currently interested in innovations with potential to scale in two years, as well as game-changing early stage technologies and prototypes. Innovations can be business models, financial instruments, technologies or programs that accelerate research, education and capacity building. LAUNCH Nordic will help innovators go to scale globally through their international partners and accelerator programme.
