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 BIC Denmark will present upcoming instruments, priorities and entry points — and answer your questions.

Program:

  • Sune Nordentoft Lauritsen, ESA BIC Denmark: Welcome and introduction
  • Anne Sofie Bramsen Dahlmann, Innovationsfonden: Grand Solution and industrial research grants
  • Børge Lindberg, Innovation Fund Denmark: Critical Technologies
  • Poul Zimmermann: ESA Technology Broker Denmark 
  • Amanda Borup Pedersen: ESA Business incubation Center Denmark
  • Cecilie Tornøe: Danish priorities in ESA programmes

A light lunch will be served.

This meeting is relevant for researchers, companies, start-ups and other stakeholders interested in engaging with Danish and European space funding and strategic programmes.

Organised by: ESA BIC Denmark, Innovation Fund Denmark & Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science
