Board Education
Driving entrepreneurial and innovative enterprises
Start a professional career as a board member. DTU Board Education combines solid, academic research with first-hand experience from top business executives and board experts, and provides you with knowledge and key skills to increase your leadership competencies.
They say practice makes perfect, join DTU Board Education and get a chance to practice your board room skills with long time board members.
A good board education teaches you how to contribute to a company using your own knowledge. It teaches you how to review a strategy, how to ask the right questions and how to strengthen the weak points.

Impact approach
The programme’s impact approach is based on 3 fundamental pillars:
- Board work: We apply the latest research results about board leadership in start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs into real board work during the programme
- Board basics: Get the knowledge of board basics such as core governance, legal responsibilities, innovation, and leadership
- Board Ecosystem: Meet board executives, investors and go to a board position interview to figure out where you will add most value
Action-based learning in actual board meetings
The education is founded on action-based learning, as we believe that lasting learning occurs when knowledge is applied to projects in collaboration with peers and key stakeholders.
Therefore, the programme is a mix of lectures, teamwork, live board work sessions, coaching, feedback and dialogue with board start-up founders, executives, investors, experts, and DTU professors.
A board member’s perspective
Sophie Bech, Board Chairman and Business Angle, explains what you will gain from clarifying your board competencies, what it take to be a board chair, and what makes a great board – in her opinion

Benefits
The programme provides you with a broad understanding of the key responsibilities of a board member, an insight into the board room as well as start-up world, and live case training.
You will be working with:
- Personal board leadership: Focus on your leadership competencies through personal development and feedback sessions
- Real-life cases: Practise your skills on real-life cases from start-ups, scaleups, SMEs, and future unicorns
- Board position-matching: You will get an interview with a start-up for a potential board position
- Executive network: Engage with DTU start-up and scale-up ecosystem, investors, business angels, board members and business leaders
- Executive sessions: Be inspired by experienced board members
- Executive Feedback: Sparring and evaluation from experienced board members
Having a board is good for many things – but in my opinion as a founder – the three most valuable benefits are: safety, structure and sparring.
