SingularityU Nordic

What SingularityU Nordic does

SingularityU Nordic is a Denmark-headquartered private educational institution founded in 2017 as the Nordic chapter of Singularity University. The company delivers expert-led programs, workshops, and keynotes on exponential and emerging technologies including AI, robotics, digital biology, quantum technologies, biotechnology, and IoT. Its core offerings comprise the Executive Program (a three-day intensive with follow-up for management teams), the Talent Program for rising stars, faculty-led Keynotes, an Alumni Program with year-round events, and Impact Ambassador sponsored seats tied to UN Sustainability Goals. Supplementary products include Workshops & Training and Online Courses, and the organization produces The Corporate Innovation Podcast hosted by co-founder Kris Østergaard.

The underlying delivery model is professional services rather than a software platform: programs are tailored for each organization through a consultative enterprise field-sales motion, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Customer segments include corporate leadership and C-suite executives (primary), emerging talent, innovation teams and X-divisions, impact leaders and changemakers, and the alumni community. Faculty is drawn from institutions such as Technical University Denmark and IBM, supplemented by Nordic-region industry experts and the two co-founders, both of whom serve as Singularity University-affiliated faculty. The company markets through podcasting, a monthly newsletter, website content, and alumni events, and is certified as a B-Corporation.

The company serves the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland) from its headquarters in Præstø, Denmark, and operates with an 11–50 employee band. It does not disclose revenue, has no institutional funding rounds in the data, and is privately held with Kris Østergaard and Laila Pawlak (Co-Founder and CEO) as named leadership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as custom quotes per organizational engagement.
