Overview: This paper argues that Corporate Venturing (CV), i.e. activities where an existing firm actively invest in a new start-up, is a much more widespread phenomenon in Denmark than official sources claim. In addition to large CV oriented corporations such as NKT and B&O, many medium sized firms and even quite small firms are involved in CV activities, defined as direct investment in new ventures with minimum 50% ownership of the parent firm. Based on the CD-Direct Professional Database the total number of firms which through direct investments have started new subsidiaries in the period 1999 to 2003 is found to be 150.
