Future Manufacturers consists of three batches, each bringing together 12-15 start-ups and scale-ups. The programs span 5-6 months, and in each batch, a mix of joint and individual activities are designed to enhance the participating start-ups’ knowledge of production and all its associated disciplines. Examples of individual events include matching participants with a relevant advisor and search for relevant test and production facilities. Examples of joint activities include physical workshops and networking events. The advanced Manufacturing Cluster “MADE”, Danish Industry and the Industry Foundation stand jointly behind the initiative.
