Innomissions — Green Research and Innovation Partnerships

Innomissions — Green Research and Innovation Partnerships

Funds Danish companies and research partners conducting mission-driven green research and innovation through multi-actor Innomissions consortia.

Innomissions is Innovation Fund Denmark's programme for mission-driven green research and innovation partnerships, established under a DKK 700 million national allocation to accelerate Denmark's green transition. Innovation Fund Denmark administers the programme and distributes funding to multi-actor consortia that include companies, universities, research institutions, and public bodies working on large-scale green challenges.

The total pool is DKK 700,000,000 across all Innomissions partnerships. Individual per-project award amounts are not published on the programme page; each Innomission partnership negotiates its scope and budget within the broader framework. Funding covers R&D project costs including salaries, equipment, and knowledge partner expenses for the duration of the partnership (typically multi-year, targeting 2050 goals).

Any legal entity in the Danish research and innovation system can participate, including for-profit companies. Companies join as consortium partners alongside universities and public institutions. The for-profit path is through a consortium: companies cannot apply solo but must be part of a qualifying multi-actor partnership. Companies receive funding directly from Innovation Fund Denmark for their portion of the project costs.

The programme launched with a roadmap phase in 2021 (closed), followed by the first Innomission-partnership call in 2021 and a second pool that opened in January 2023. As of June 2026, no actively open call is visible on the programme page. Companies interested in future rounds should monitor innovationsfonden.dk/en/p/innomissions and sign up for the fund's newsletter. Applications are submitted via e-grant.dk.

Practical caveats: Innomissions targets large-scale, multi-actor consortia — it is not suited for a single company working alone. Companies with no prior R&D collaboration with Danish universities or public institutions will need to build those partnerships before applying. The roadmap phase offered no funding; only the partnership-call phases disburse grants.
