The Region of Zealand’s company specialisation is well placed to capitalise on the green transition, but there is a need for companies to accelerate innovation and the development of new cleantech products and solutions so that they can remain competitive in the global markets with high growth rates. Zealand companies are less innovative than the national average and CTI aims to realise the innovation potential of cleantech companies in Region Zealand. The CTI implements 6 innovation collaborations between 15 SMEs and DTU’s cleantech research institutions with the aim of innovative companies developing new products and solutions. Common to innovation collaborations is that they focus on new cleantech products and solutions. The project pays 25 % support to enterprises for work done in innovation cooperation. As a direct result of the innovation collaborations, it is an objective to create 6 innovative companies that develop new products and solutions with the likelihood of large sales potential through value chain collaborations. In total, the project will help to increase companies’ turnover by DKK 14.85 million, increase exports by DKK 5.94 million and create 8 new permanent jobs during the project period. 5 years after the project, revenue is expected to amount to DKK 40 million, exports of DKK 16 million and 22 new permanent jobs are created each year.
