Erhvervsstyrelsen (Danish Business Authority)

Administers Danish business regulation, entrepreneurship, digitalization, and growth programs for companies.

Erhvervsstyrelsen, the Danish Business Authority, is Denmark's national business regulator under the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs. It maintains the Central Business Register, oversees annual-report compliance, digital bookkeeping, and sustainability reporting, and since 1 January 2026 it has also housed the former Safety Technology Authority as its Market Surveillance department.

On the funding side, it serves as managing authority and secretariat for Denmark's EU structural-fund calls, working with Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, and the Just Transition Fund for 2021-2027. The live grant routes in this record are the Green Fund and Socialfonden Plus, which point toward green transition and labour-market participation.

Applications move through the TAS portal with MitID Erhverv, so the agency is mainly the administrative gateway rather than the final grant decider. That makes Erhvervsstyrelsen useful to companies and organisations that need access to EU-backed competition calls in Denmark, while the policy and award decisions sit with the business promotion board.
