Funding Opportunities
BE READY Call 2026
The European Partnership for Pandemic Preparedness (BE READY) aims to establish a European research and innovation ecosystem that is optimally prepared for future health crises caused by infectious diseases. This ecosystem will be capable of responding swiftly and efficiently to such crisis and will be fully integrated into the broader European institutional framework for health security. This call will support innovative, collaborative, interdisciplinary and transnational research projects aiming for a better understanding of the pandemic potential of emerging pathogens, elucidating the pathophysiology induced by these pathogens, and developing innovative medical countermeasures. The call targets Danish universities, companies, industry organisations, local/regional governments, research organisations and NGOs. All Danish organisations directly involved in activities in the projects are eligible as applicants to the Innovation Fund Denmark. This is a multinational interdisciplinary research funding opportunity that requires international collaboration within the European Partnership framework.
Innobooster, 4th pool 2026
Innobooster provides grants for Danish small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs who want to launch innovative, knowledge-based development projects. The purpose is to increase company competitiveness and create growth for Danish society. The program supports knowledge-based development projects that result in an innovative solution with potential to strengthen the company's growth and create value for Danish society. The solution can be a new product, a new service, process innovation, or other forms of innovation. The grant can co-finance salaries for existing and new employees' hours, expenses for knowledge suppliers, as well as equipment and materials. Innobooster operates on a rolling basis throughout the year with multiple funding pools, and applications compete within their respective period based on the application date.
Innoexplorer round 3 2026
Innoexplorer is for employees at public research and educational institutions and hospitals who have achieved research results with commercial potential and have a goal of establishing a company based on the results. The program invests in early stage entrepreneurial ideas so that their potential can be uncovered and matured to a stage where the idea is ready for the market or can attract additional public or private investment. The fact that the entrepreneurial idea is in an early stage means that it is still in a pre-commercial phase, but that it is based on knowledge and research results that are considered promising by the institution where the applicant is employed, and that are sufficiently mature to begin a process towards commercialization. An Innoexplorer project can neither finance further basic research nor the actual commercialization, such as test sales and sales or marketing activities. The idea can come from any field of expertise, and there does not have to be a possibility of patent or other specific idea protection. However, it is important that the idea is innovative in a way that creates new solutions in the form of new behavior and/or new products, services, processes or technologies.
