Digital Conversion: Growth plans (digital business models)

The project aims to create growth in the Region of Southern Denmark through Industry 4.0 compatible solutions.The project works with a segment of companies that have the potential to generate growth through new digital business models. They seek this through the Digital Conversion, Data and Intelligent Production.Behind the project are Growthhus Syddanmark, Development Funen, Triangle Area Denmark, Sønderborg Growth Thread, Development Council South Jutland, and Design2Innovate. The project is aimed at 30 companies over the age of 2 and 8 months. The effect creation is 60 new jobs, 15 new growth companies, a permanent turnover of DKK 60,000,000, and a permanent export of DKK 36,000,000. + 300 companies must be identified, of which 120 will be screened in order to identify if the company can, will and ability to take advantage of the project’s offer. Of the 120 companies screened, they participate 30. Of the 30 companies, the project contributes to the 15 growth companies.The companies receive co-financing to purchase consultancy services for an average of DKK 220,000 on the private consulting market in order to establish a growth plan based on digital business models and intelligent production. The private consultancy market for this type of service is highly specialised, which is why the project will continuously build up a database of qualified consultants from which companies can choose. Companies that bring new consultants to the table must document practical experience with the solutions in question via consultant CV to ensure that the competencies are present to solve the tasks. Due to the complexity, the programmes will typically last 6-18 months, during which the company and the consultant will work with the growth plan.Continuingly, the project’s partners in Development Fyn, the Triangle Area Denmark, Sønderborg Growth Wire, Development Council South Jutland and Design2Innovate follow the companies on the basis of a proximity principle, where the competences the units possess and give the companies value are used to ensure the companies’ progress and a good course. The partners also participate in the recruitment process.
