Information Meeting on Danish Public Funding Opportunities for Space
The Danish government has recently agreed to significantly increase its participation in European Space Agency (ESA) programmes and national space initiatives in the coming years. This growth reflects a commitment to strengthen Danish involvement across earth observation, exploration, technology development, climate applications, security and commercialisation, creating an expanded landscape of funding and collaboration opportunities for Danish research institutions and industry alike.
You are invited to an information meeting on the upcoming public funding opportunities for space in 2026, where representatives from Innovation Fund Denmark, the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science, and ESA Business Incubation Centre/Technology Broker Denmark will present upcoming instruments, priorities and entry points — and answer your questions.
