The seven approved GTS institutes are all part of the Danish effort to create an innovative and competitive business community by accelerating new knowledge and new technology’s path to the commercial market.
The institutes provide research and development services to companies, including startups. Especially research-intensive projects can benefit greatly from their support, as the institutes have a wide range of technical skills, knowledge and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
The GTS institutes are non-profit companies that sell their services on commercial terms. The GTS institutes receive approximately DKK 300 million a year in public funding, which corresponds to about 10 percent of the total turnover. In addition to companies buying GTS services, there are also opportunities to enter into R&D collaborations financed by Danish or international pools and funds, e.g. under the auspices of Innovation Fund Denmark or EU programs.
Protect innovation
The GTS institutes primarily collaborate with highly innovative and research-driven companies. This means that startups collaborating with GTS institutes should also have a clear strategy for their intellectual property.
This includes patents, design protection and trademarks. Whatever the need, there’s a wealth of resources and useful guidance to be found.
However, IPR is an incredibly complex area and if the application process is too challenging, it is possible to team up with specialized advisors.
