Cooperation connects entrepreneurs

Start-up scout Val­uer will put its exper­tise to work to con­nect Grund­fos with glob­al entre­pre­neurs to accel­er­ate dig­i­tal devel­op­ment in the company.
New tal­ents, fresh ideas and quick con­nec­tions are just part of the recipe for suc­cess when it comes to dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion. This is the back­ground for Grund­fos join­ing forces with Val­uer, a dig­i­tal plat­form spe­cial­ized in con­nect­ing large cor­po­ra­tions with small start-ups across the globe.
“Con­nect­ing with new peo­ple and star­tups, get­ting new and updat­ed knowl­edge is fun­da­men­tal to our busi­ness,” says Fredrik Öst­bye, Group Vice Pres­i­dent and Head of Dig­i­tal Trans­for­ma­tion at Grundfos.
“We see great poten­tial in coop­er­at­ing with Val­uer to accel­er­ate our dig­i­tal transformation.”
Öst­bye high­lights data ana­lyt­ics and data man­age­ment as inter­est­ing areas that could gain fur­ther trac­tion from this partnership.
Part of what makes Val­uer unique is its method to scout the glob­al start-up mar­ket with a vast net­work of agents on the ground who scout and rec­om­mend inter­est­ing entre­pre­neurs.  Val­uer then match­makes these entre­pre­neurs with its cor­po­rate partners.
“Part­ner­ing with Grund­fos is a very inter­est­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty for us. We can offer an inno­v­a­tive approach to cor­po­rate to start-up match­mak­ing, and with Grund­fos as one of our part­ners, we can attract even more atten­tion and good­will from entre­pre­neurs and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to coop­er­ate and grow through Grund­fos,” adds Den­nis Poulsen, CEO Valuer.
