Choosing to attend the University of Guelph on an academic exchange from the University of Copenhagen helped transform Cathrine Osterberg's love of ice cream into a business opportunity. In 2012, Osterberg worked with food science professor and ice cream researcher Doug Goff, and also wrote a business plan for the Nicol Entrepreneurial Competition, giving her the tools to open her own ice cream shop - Osterberg Ice Cream - in Denmark. She is currently preparing to open a second shop in Vietnam where she will feature exotic flavours suited to local palates.
