1.3 million Danish kroner for new innovation projects

Students and small and middle-sized companies to create innovation

CBS Connect has received 1,315,000.00 Danish kroner from the Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation for a number of innovation projects. For instance, 30 partnerships between students and small and middle-sized knowledge intensive companies will be established.

Based on the companies’ specific needs, the students will be contributing their analytical inputs and creative ideas. The goal is that, after a year, the companies will have achieved a more innovative approach, such as new business processes, new products, services, or concepts.

From creative ideas to innovative solutions

Director of CBS Connect, Mette Reebirk, emphasises that the students will not only contribute much of their knowledge; but that they too will benefit from participating in the projects.

Better bottom line

- The students will also have the chance to convert theory into practice. They will look at the companies’ specific needs and not just at an imaginary scenario. They will learn to transform creative ideas into innovative solutions that will create a better bottom line for the company, Mette Reebirk emphasises.
