Consultants are sought to help companies with applications for InnoBooster courses.

The Central Jutland Region has a cooperation agreement with the Innovation Fund with the aim of increasing the use of the InnoBooster scheme by Mid-Jutland companies. In an InnoBooster course, a new product or service that is not on the market today is being developed so that competitiveness is significantly improved. This is done by providing the company with expert knowledge through collaboration with a knowledge institution, a consultant, or by hiring new employees with special skills.

In connection with assessing the application basis, preparing an application for the Innovation Foot and conducting an InnoBooster project, companies can apply for support for advice from an external consultant. The consultancy is free of charge for the companies, and we aim to complete 233 courses of consultancy for companies in relation to applying for the Innovation Fund.

An InnoBooster course is divided into 2 stages.

Phase 1:

- Initially, an amount of max. DKK 6,000 for guidance on preparation of application. This amount is given regardless of whether the application is approved or not by the Innovation Fund.

Phase 2:

- When the application for the Innovation Fund has been prepared, submitted and commitments have been received from the Innovation Fund, an amount of max. DKK 10,000 for continuous follow-up and guidance during the project period. This amount should also cover the preparation of a short written follow-up once the course of the Innovation Fund has been completed.

The company applies for both phases at once, and if the application to the Innovation Fund is rejected, the Advisor sends an invoice to the Client then. If, on the other hand, the application is approved by the Innovation Fund, the Advisor will notify the Client and the company can then dispose of an amount of max. DKK 10,000 for ongoing follow-up and guidance during the project period, and in this case the Consultant only sends an invoice to the Client when phase 2 is completed. After completing the course, the Advisor submits a short final report describing whether the company has received an application or not (if no application is briefly described why), if an application has been submitted describing whether or not an undertaking has been obtained (commitment / rejection is sent) the final report), whose commitments have been achieved, describe how the innovation project was implemented and what the dividend is.
