Your odds
Not published

This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.

Effort
major

Major bid — written case, budget, possibly partners.

You fund 65% yourself.

This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Denmark.

Who can apply

Company must have raised at least DKK 100,000 in capital within three years OR have a gross profit of at least DKK 250,000 in one of the last three years. Projects max 24 months. Periods 3-4 allocate across green tech (32%), life science/health (36%), critical/digital tech (32%).

How to apply

  1. Check eligibility (SME, capital or gross-profit criterion)
  2. Prepare the project description and budget on Innovationsfonden's templates
  3. Submit via the fund's application portal within an open window
  4. Assessment on idea quality, impact and execution quality
