The Innovation Network program

Total grants about 10 Mil. Euro per year

Bottom up approach

4 year grants - good possibilities of extensions

About 0.5-0.7 Mil. € per network per year

Grants are for:

• Operating costs for secretariat

• Matchmaking and knowledge sharing activities

The 22 Innovation Networks:

Are nation-wide (not regional)

Open for all interested parties

Averagely 300 companies in each network and 9 knowledge

institutions – but a lot of variation

Focus on a technology or a business area

Some are ”traditional” clusters - others are cross-sectorial

Together they form an infrastructure

The Danish Cluster Strategy – looking ahead

• Establishing 3 Cluster Leagues – world class clusters, national champions and emerging

champions

• Further internationalisation

• Increased cross-cluster and cross-sectorial collaboration (new growth areas - emerging

industries)

• Clusters should play a more strategic role in the innovation system (coordination with

other innovation policy instruments)
