When: January 16, 2026, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
What: The Grand Solutions program invests in ambitious and preferably interdisciplinary research and innovation projects that can create new, specific solutions to important, politically prioritized societal challenges and create value throughout Denmark.
To the extent possible, the Grand Solutions program invests in projects carried out in close collaboration between research institutions and the business community or public customers of solutions, for instance municipalities and regions. Innovation Fund Denmark encourages cross-disciplinary projects in all parts of the value chain – from foundational research (in Danish: grundlagsskabende forskning) to industrial research and experimental development.
Within the Grand Solutions program, a two-phase application model will be adopted. Phase 1 is a request for a letter of interest and open to all interested applicants, whereas phase 2 is a request for a full application and only open by invitation.
Applicants for phase 1 will be invited to phase 2 if two conditions are met:
- Innovation Fund Denmark assesses the letter of interest from phase 1 as an interesting and relevant proposal which largely meets the assessment criteria
- The number of invited applications will result in a success rate of approximately 30-50% within phase 2
Innovation Fund Denmark distributes the available funds in open competition between projects that demonstrate the greatest positive effect while at the same time contributing to growth and employment in Denmark. The distribution of the funds for this call originates from the current Finance Act and the agreement on the disposition of the Research Reserve (see links under section 5: Guidelines and inspiration).
