Ørestad - Base Elements. The ITU is committed to and excited about the prospect of turning Ørestad North into a world-leading center for media, culture and communication technology. Indeed, ITU is one of the founding members of the association “Crossroads Copenhagen”, which is a partnership of private companies and public institutions who all share this vision. Result Goal 1: Together with its future neighbours in Ørestad, ITU con- tributes to a list of public events (e.g., exhibitions, talks, conferences) in Ørestad, on topics ranging from advanced research in media, culture and communication technology to practical demonstrations of what life in the Network Society will be like. The fifth floor in ITU’s building in Ørestad is not at this stage allocated to the ITU, although ITU has an option to rent it. That floor represents an opportunity for strengthening the way ITU supports its exceptionally innovative students and their creation of new businesses. We return to this opportunity as an add-on element in Section 5.5.
