My overview
We work for Denmark — with an eye on the world
Innovation Fund Denmark is a public fund that exists to bring strong ideas out into society. From research to business. From knowledge to impact. From vision to solutions that can be felt in society.
We invest in entrepreneurs, researchers, companies and partnerships that dare to tackle the big questions: How do we create a more sustainable society? A stronger business community? A healthier life? A greener future? New technologies, new jobs and new answers to the challenges Denmark and the world face?
Our task is to help the best ideas grow and become reality.
