Egle Zukauskaite, Environmental Economics student, has turned this idea into a new, revamped, University of Copenhagen Entrepreneurship Club (UCEC).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;UCEC is the place where you go if you are a student interested in entrepreneurship. We will give you feedback and support. If we can\u2019t help with something, we will refer you to the right people,&#8221; says Egle. <\/p>\n<p>The club wants to spread innovation culture among students and support those who are starting a business. At T57, the headquarters in Thorvaldsensvej, there is a co-working space open to everyone, and a handful of startups meet there regularly.<\/p>\n<h2>A hotspot for creative minds<\/h2>\n<p>UCEC was founded in 2010 as a student association, but it became inactive when founding students graduated and moved elsewhere. This time it will be different though, Egle says. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are going to run the club as a business, with the idea that it should sustain itself and provide real value for the students and their startups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Egle was inspired by other business incubators in Copenhagen. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are so many opportunities for innovators in Copenhagen right now. I had an idea that I was trying to turn it into a business, so I started to spend a lot of time at the CBS incubator, which is a very attractive center for everyone who is interested in entrepreneurship. There\u2019s a huge co-working space, networking events, free coaching and legal advice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While her original idea didn\u2019t work out, Egle realized that the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) was missing out on the entrepreneurship train and decided to do something.<\/p>\n<h2>Challenging CBS and DTU<\/h2>\n<p>There are some problems, however. Students who work at T57 can not register their startups there, because UCPH does not allowed companies to be registered in its facilities. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The biggest challenge is that UCPH is not perceived as the best place for entrepreneurs: that\u2019s what CBS and DTU are for. We are working hard to break this myth,&#8221; she says<\/p>\n<p>Right now, they are filming a series of videos about students who run a business, or simply work on an interesting project, to show that good ideas are not a prerogative of tech geeks or business types in their pinstripe suits. The stories will be presented at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucec.org\/awards.html\" target=\"_blank\">UCEC Awards on 26 June<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Egle and her team have great plans for UCEC.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see it as an amazing hub for UCPH students. There will be a workspace with a lot of startups and a vibrant environment for all sort of student activities. UCEC is a club with a strong network that will really change the innovation culture among students.
