Together with my Co-founders we started Cr3do, an online platform that aims to bring 3D-printing to the vast group of SMEs that don’t have a team of engineers or 3D-printing knowledge.

Cr3do wants to enable SMEs to request and get a unique 3D printed solution for their day-to-day problems with the same ease as ordering a pair of sneakers online.

Since I was a child I have known the hard work thanks to the entrepreneurship spirit and business of my family.
From an early age I have been interested in business and how to maximize its development and benefits, which is why I studied two degrees in Business Management and Publicity & PR.
Since several years ago, I have been studying and working in several countries, and now I am part of Avionics Control Systems, as a Business Developer, company based in The Netherlands and focused in Technology Development and Drones, where i can develop my passion for technology and creativity.
We develop customized technological solutions for our clients, hardware and software, and autopilots and different technologies for drones, at the same time that we develop our own projects.

I am a very proactive, energetic and open character person. I am sure it would be a pleasure to talk with you. Feel free to contact me.

Martin Brynskov is chair of the Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative (OASC), coordinator of the Danish Smart City Network and Research Director of AU Smart Cities at Aarhus University in Denmark. OASC is a rapidly growing global network of national networks of cities, currently 89 cities from 19 countries. Driven by the cities, OASC aims to create a global smart city market based on city needs, i.e. a competitive market (offering choice) based on interoperability/portability (avoiding vendor lock-in, but also “city lock-in”), supporting a local, open innovation ecosystem linked to the global market (prioritised procurement). OASC is in favour of bottom-up approaches: advocating and connecting cities, not dictating rules for cities regardless size and open data maturity. OASC is aiming for a smart city and IoT market where best practice is easily shared, driven by implementation that actually happens in cities, by companies deploying services and IoT infrastructure on an urban scale.
