The Horizon Europe Denmark Top-up Schemes sit under Innovation Fund Denmark and add national support to Danish participation in Horizon Europe. The programme is aimed at projects that already have a European foothold, including Seal of Excellence cases and co-funding for EIC Accelerator winners. The scheme is a grant with awards from DKK 28,599 to DKK 428,999, and it runs annually. Applicants must be registered and operating in Denmark, and the record requires a consortium. For-profit organisations are required, non-profits are allowed, and individuals are excluded. This is best understood as a bridging layer rather than a primary research engine. It works for teams that already cleared a strong EU-level selection process and need a modest Danish top-up to carry the project further. Applicants will usually be strongest when the Horizon Europe result is already validated and the remaining financing gap is specific, local, and time-bound. That makes it a practical bridge for teams that already have traction.
