Setting the stage for innovative business development

The global climate challenges have created a cleantech revolution and increased the demand for green solutions. Globally, ambitious green targets are being set and the struggle for the global leading position is getting increasingly tougher. The major green problems (water systems, smart grids, smart cities, waste disposal systems etc.) cannot be solved using single technologies, but rather require combinations of technologies and competencies across industries in which the solutions are developed jointly through innovative forms of cooperation.

Complex Cleantech Solutions is a project with the purpose to utilise and extend the Danish leading position within cleantech and to give Danish companies a bigger share of the global market for green solutions.
The project makes it possible to bring cluster development to a new level and supports Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster's mission to develop one of the world's leading and most competitive cleantech clusters.

The CCS project is almost entirely financed by the Danish Industry Foundation also known as Industriens Fond. The Foundation's purpose is to develop and support innovative, inspirational and economically sustainable projects and initiatives that strengthen the competitiveness of Danish business and industry.

A new approach - working the other way around

Many initiatives in support of Danish competitiveness are based on a "See what we can do" approach (push), rather than a "What is required/what is needed in the markets" approach (pull). With this project, CCC wishes to develop and try a new method in which the traditional approach to marketing is turned around, as companies are brought together to come up with problem-solving solutions that are actually required.

An active effort is being made on behalf of CCS to ensure that Danish companies can initiate joint business projects and deliver green solutions that are in demand globally. Danish companies are presented not only with knowledge, but also the opportunity to meet customers and enter into cooperation to solve their challenges. This generates new business opportunities for Danish cleantech companies.

Keeping Danish business innovate and one step ahead

The aim of the project is to utilize and extend Denmark's leading position within Cleantech and furthermore enhance the competitiveness of Danish business by researching and sharing industry knowledge through the project. Furthermore the purpose is to give Danish companies access to international opportunities and sustain technology exchange.

"CCS is a visionary and ambitious project that requires us to not only provide a unique value proposition to projects but also to develop a seamless relationship at highest levels across the globe. We are currently mapping the global market for clean technology and the environmental challenges that exist in various parts of the world. Our focus is on emerging markets which have shown great interest in our solutions," says Neelabh Singh, Head of Complex Cleantech Solutions
