Danish Startup Group was founded in Copenhagen in 2007 and is now run entirely by volunteers. The organization focuses on building up entrepreneurs at an early stage by arranging events, offering mentorship, and creating networks.
The new collaboration means that Temu will practically participate in these programs. The e-commerce platform will work closely with both the team behind the organization and the network's hundreds of affiliated companies and members.
We are very pleased to welcome Temu as a member of Danish Startup Group and to see a large, established company show a genuine interest in Denmark's startup environment. Their ambition to invest in innovation and create new value for Danish entrepreneurs, both through their expertise and their platform solutions, is exactly the type of commitment we want to encourage. We look forward to exploring the upcoming opportunities and further developing the collaboration for the benefit of our members and our ecosystem," says Tomas Zhang Mathiesen, founder and CEO of Danish Startup Group.
Temu launched its operations in Denmark in 2023. The following year, local Danish sellers were also given the opportunity to join the platform to sell their goods in both Denmark and the rest of Europe.
We are pleased to partner with Danish Startup Group and be part of a network that has supported Danish founders for almost two decades. We look forward to contributing to Denmark's startup scene," says a spokesperson for Temu.
