Projects

The Danish Industry Foundation focuses on three specific drivers to develop and support initiatives, activities and projects in Denmark and abroad.

Knowledge is a fundamental driver of growth. Hence, we are engaged in creating and enabling the application of new knowledge in the Danish business sector.

Competences are a prerequisite for the creation and evolution of growth.  Hence, we are engaged in ensuring that companies have access to employees, who are in possession of the necessary knowledge and competences to create growth in Danish companies.

Innovation compels us to rethink the status quo and allows access to new markets. Therefore, we seek to strengthen SMEs and entrepreneurs’ capacity to innovate.

The Danish Industry Foundation has more than 100 working projects in its project portfolio. The projects operate within four selected areas impacting the competitiveness of the Danish industry: sustainable production, cybersecurity, new technologies and internationalisation.

All projects are presented in Danish on the foundation’s website. And here, in the English version of the website, we briefly present three project examples in each of the four thematic focus areas mentioned above.
