Industriens Fond
Supports Industriens Fond projects strengthening Danish industrial competitiveness through technology transfer, sustainable models, cybersecurity, and circular practices.
Industriens Fond is a Danish private foundation founded in 1898, with an endowment of about DKK 5 billion and annual grant distributions of about DKK 250 million. It exists to strengthen Danish business competitiveness, and its funding model is centered on business promotion rather than direct corporate support. The foundation works through projects and consortia, not individual-company awards. Its focus areas include sustainable production, cybersecurity, new technologies, internationalization, and entrepreneurship, and its strategic emphasis runs through knowledge creation, skills building, and innovation capacity. Typical implementers include universities, industry organizations, GTS institutes, and trade associations that can take results beyond a single firm. Applicants need to think in terms of shared outputs, dissemination, and effects that can spread across multiple companies. The foundation fits projects that can lift mid-sized firms or growth-stage entrepreneurs through common tools, sector knowledge, or adoption support. Its approach is systematic and long-horizon: it funds initiatives that can shift practice across Danish industry rather than one-off company projects.
