Baltic Energy Island – Increased Innovation in SMEs

Challenge

The main result of the project was the development and accreditation of the world’s first and only MBA for the offshore wind sector. Denmark has decided that Bornholm will play a central role in the green transition as the Baltic Sea's center for offshore wind. The ambition is also for Bornholm to function as a test island for companies, students, and researchers who want to work with climate-friendly solutions for the benefit of growth and development.

To support this ambition, several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Denmark need help moving forward with innovation projects and development activities, enabling them to support the work of developing Bornholm’s green profile.

Solution

Baltic Energy Island – Increased Innovation Power in SMEs is a project in the second phase of the Bornholm business lighthouse – one of several regional lighthouse projects in Denmark. The project is one of three business lighthouse projects under the lighthouse organization Baltic Energy Island.

In this phase, small and medium-sized enterprises will go through five innovation processes. They will participate in innovation-oriented activities and develop concepts for new products and services that will lead to investments and growth in connection with the billion-dollar investments taking place with Energy Island Bornholm and the further expansion of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea.

The companies' involvement will help make Bornholm a hub for the development, testing, and demonstration of green energy and increase business potential.

To achieve the desired results, the project has assembled a strong consortium of partners, each bringing unique competencies and networks into play.
