INTRODUCING ODENSE ROBOTICS
STARTUP HUB
Successful Startup
Cases from Odense
Odense Robotics is opening its doors for startup companies to participate in our startup
hub for up to 24 months. Participation in Odense Robotics Startup Hub ensures you early
facilitation of your tech and business development in an innovative robotic ecosystem. You
will have access to hardware development space incl. advanced tools, access to a vast
network where you can meet future partners, as well as have access to a team of robotic
specialist, facilities to develop prototypes and much more. This is all at no cost to you.
Your responsibility will be to contribute a strong idea for your future success.
UR’s collaborative robot-arms re-
 Bring your Idea - No prototype needed to get into the Hub
 You create the first prototype, we find local customers for first test runs
 Robots and components (for instance UR) at your disposal during development
What makes Odense
Robotics unique?
Denmark (DK) has the sixth highest
robot density in the world, and Odense
has positioned itself as DK’s robot
hotspot with 70+ companies and 1,800+
jobs within robotics and automation.
25 years of robotic development built
on a strong triple helix concept (close
coop between university, industry and
government).
 Shipyard Lindø, began developing
robots and robot applications in
collaboration with the University of
Southern Denmark (SDU).
 Following Lindø, Mærsk McKinney
Møller Institute, a high-tech center
of excellence for intelligent autonomous systems, set up as part of
SDU.
 Danish Technological Institute
established their center for robotics
in Odense.
Odense’s unique robotic ecosystem
has advanced Odense Robotics to
the forefront in several areas, with a
particular strength in:
1. collaborative robots
2. food automation
3. SME automation
Securing funding for robotic hardware
development just got easier. Odense
Robotics believes in robotic hardware
ideas with the potential to become
scalable businesses. Through Odense
Robotics Startup Hub, our goal is to
facilitate businesses at an early phase
to ensure they are prepared to secure
funding.

MiR produces and develops mobile
robots for professional use in the
industry, manufacturing companies
and hospitals. Their transport robot
MiR 100 is a good example of a
unique AGV – a service robot “made in
Odense”. Kick-started by the Odense
Robotics / DTI accelerator, founder
Niels Jul Jacobsen quit his university
job to be full time entrepreneur and
got Thomas Visti (former VP and
commercial manager at Universal
Robots) on board as CEO. A local
business angel invested in MiR – and
the company grew from 3 part time
employees to 12 FTE within a year.

 Scalable
volutionize production in various industries around the world. UR was
born in the Odense cradle in 2005,
using the local startup facilities and
funding. CoBots UR5 and UR10 soon
conquered the world from UR’s
HQ in Odense. This classic
case of a university spinout (from 3 to 200
employees), made
the founders and
inventors
multi-millionaires in early 2015, when UR was
acquired by Teradyne for
$285M.
