Digital Conversion: Innovation cooperation

The aim of the project is to support and accelerate product, concept and solution development within Industry 4.0, Data and Digitalisation, thereby creating growth in Danish small and medium-sized enterprises.In order to succeed, the sub-projects must go through four phases: H1; which is the qualification and establishment of cooperation; H2; which are the development of new products/solutions and concepts; H3; which are test and user involvement and H4; which are tests of usability, security and market potential before final commercialisation. The project is anchored at Væksthus Syddanmark, and has been developed in collaboration with Sønderborg Growth Thread, Danish Technological Institute, Business Academy Lillebælt, Design2Innovate, Odense Robotics, Triangle Area Denmark, University of Southern Denmark, CLEAN and RoboCluster, and the project is open to further relevant participants, such as ITD. The project is designed in such a way that it is the competencies that the companies need to succeed with their development projects that will be made available. Companies get guidance from the project to complete an application template of max. 10 A4 pages, inspired by the requirements of the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument. An independent committee with relevant competencies assesses which projects will be able to deliver the best results cost-effectively and grants accordingly.The project’s expected effects are that at least 12 products/solutions/concepts must be brought to a stage where they can be commercialised. The potential for growth is great, and the project will therefore deliver an annual Mér-turn of DKK 360 million, an annual increase in exports of DKK 180 million, and 120 new jobs based on 12 new products, solutions or concepts.
