You’ll gain practical takeaways, hear behind-the-scenes stories from the finance and tech sectors, and get inspiration for how to shape your own career beyond Denmark.

The evening also offers a unique chance to connect with like-minded students and professionals interested in international finance, investment, and economic strategy.
