Gaining Momentum

IT-DAY is a verifiable, established career fair series in Denmark (Aalborg, Odense, Copenhagen) connecting students with major companies (e.g., Lego, Netcompany). External search confirms annual traction of ~2,500+ attendees and 50+ exhibitors, operating since 2019. However, the project submission itself was of low quality (using the name 'FrostRider', claiming 'most people have used my product', and citing 'marketcap: null'). While the physical project is successful and holds high local utility, its global reach and technical innovation are low compared to digital baselines. The score reflects strong local validation tempered by the submission's inaccurate claims and the niche nature of physical events.

Project Details

Description
IT-DAY is Denmark's leading platform for connecting IT talents with top industry companies. Founded by IT students with a vision to foster meaningful networks, we annually organize three major IT career fairs in Aalborg, Odense, and Copenhagen. Our mission is to bridge the gap between IT students, graduates, professionals, and businesses, enhancing career opportunities and strengthening the industry through collaboration. Our events offer unique opportunities for both students and businesses: students get the chance to meet potential employers, learn about new trends, and build professional networks, while companies can showcase themselves to a pool of motivated talents, enhance their employer branding, and establish long-lasting partnerships. Beyond career fairs, we offer customized company events and an IT job portal, where businesses can promote opportunities for student jobs, internships, graduate positions, and full-time jobs. We collaborate with a diverse array of partners, including industry organizations, student associations, and unions, making us a central hub in Denmark's IT sector. IT-DAY is more than just a job fair - we are a catalyst for growth and innovation in the IT sector. Our commitment to connecting talent with opportunities creates a stronger, more dynamic IT industry in Denmark.
