How to proceed

The project is based on the local business potentials described in the strategy and is organized into three focus areas, each of which seeks to unlock one or more of the change-creating potentials:

• Fehmarn Corridor
  The aim of the initiative is to develop competitive companies within construction, civil engineering and industry that can act as sparring partners in the construction project, and to develop the business community along the Fehmarn Corridor from Rødby to Greve.
• Bioproduction and food: Bio Change Zealand
  The goal of the initiative is to develop and attract SMEs that can export, connect to international value chains through collaboration with large companies in the area and/or enter into circular value chains across the two product branches.
• Man on the moon
  The goal of the initiative is to develop the large companies of the future - man on the moon - in the Zealand region.

Knowledge Hub Zealand was the project manager for Bio Change Zealand, which offered support to biotech and food companies and suppliers in the industry to shortcut growth, sales and exports. 

155 companies in total participated in tailor-made individual project paths where the companies were professionalized and matured to enable them to turn potential into scaling and growth.

The following activities were part of the offer to companies:

• Sparring with business developers from the project partnership
• Collaboration with students, researchers, specialists or other companies
• Advice from external experts with funding from the project
• Access to testing facilities
• Participation in business networks and workshops
