Studio 30 50 Launches First European Cohort in Denmark

Studio 30 50, based in Singapore, is making its foray into Europe with the launch of its inaugural start-up cohort in Copenhagen.

Supported by industry giants like Hafnia, DNV, IMC Ventures, Microsoft, and Wilhelmsen, Studio 30 50 has traditionally organized cohorts featuring founders at the pre-idea stage, early-stage start-ups, and seasoned entrepreneurs, all within Singapore until now.

Shanker Pillai, Head of Studio 30 50, expressed, “Copenhagen is the strategic choice for our first European cohort – not only is it an existing start-up hub but many industry leaders are located either in Copenhagen or within a short distance.”

He added, “Our previous cohorts have proven our end-to-end venture studio model is bringing MaritimeTech to life in a new way: connecting founders, creating spaces for experimentation and development, and accelerating the iteration cycle, which is driving start-up formation.”

The Copenhagen cohort, set for May 2024, has already attracted over 40 entrepreneurs and start-ups, with the application process still underway.

Since its inception in Singapore the previous year, Studio 30 50 has engaged with 19 founders in the ideation phase and six early-stage start-ups, spanning a diverse array of sectors within the maritime industry.
