Grand Solutions projects are often characterised by high risk profile. They focus on ambitious results with high value creation in Denmark in terms of new knowledge, growth, employment or solutions to societal challenges.

Most projects entail a collaboration among companies, universities and research institutions. Often they have a high degree of research and innovation activities – albeit projects can cover every stage from strategic research to implementation. Most projects get a grant of DKK 5-30 million and have a duration of 2-5 years.

The Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme supports Danish innovative green energy technologies. Research activities can also be supported if they are part of development and demonstration projects. The many different focus areas are, e.g., more green electricity - and for more purposes, energy efficiency, heavy transport and large-scale Power-to-X, etc.

EUopSTART aims to intensify the internationalisation of Danish research and strengthen the interaction between research institutions and businesses within research and innovation. 

EUopSTART is a pre-funding scheme that alleviates part of the risk and the resources needed for developing bigger EU proposals. Organisations can therefore apply for small grants for the preparatory work of developing proposals to Horizon Europe.
