SMV:Grøn

Does your business fall under the category of "SME" (small and medium-sized enterprises)? Then, you also have the opportunity to apply for a grant or counselling. All it requires is that you send an application on behalf of your company to "Virksomhedsprogrammet". What you are applying for is called "SMV:Grøn," which is an EU-funded grant programme for SME's that want to contribute to the green transition through change and development. Read more in the FAQ for SMV:Grøn on Virksomhedsprogrammets website (Danish).

SMV:Grøn is applicable for SME's throughout Denmark, but you apply through your regional business house, which is happy to assist with your application. Of course, you must write the application itself, but the business developers at your business house are ready to help ensure that your application is for the right programme and to ensure a very sharp application.
