History
The Danish Industry Foundation supports projects that benefit Danish businesses. Its mission is to promote the competitiveness of Danish businesses, a concept it interprets broadly, and it is particularly concerned with strengthening companies' ability to add value and create employment, thereby benefitting Denmark as a whole. The Foundation states that industry and business communities are key elements to growth, prosperity and job creation, and that in collaboration with scientific and educational institutions these can create, market and export innovative business concepts and technologies leading to sustainable growth economically as well as environmentally. Its target group covers all Danish companies, with SMEs and entrepreneurs with the potential to create growth and jobs as an area of special interest. The Foundation may support projects intended for only a few companies, but emphasises making new knowledge available to the business community and society at large. It has identified four thematic areas it deems essential for the Danish business sector's competitiveness: sustainable production whilst simultaneously creating growth; cybersecurity from a commercial angle; new technologies and how to adopt them; and an international mindset that permeates all aspects of the business. The Foundation works with knowledge, competences and innovation, aiming to create and bring new knowledge into use in Danish business, to ensure companies have access to employees with the necessary knowledge and competences, and to strengthen SMEs and entrepreneurs.
