Getting innovation and new ideas into the company
The ARTEMIS project has been completed; it ran from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2026.
The goal of the Interreg 6A project was to boost economic growth and the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—and of the program region itself—by fostering greater innovation.
The focus was on topics such as digitalization, automation, and sustainability, as SMEs in the German-Danish border region face a wide range of challenges in these areas.
Procedure
In addition, the project established a lasting cross-border network of stakeholders to provide optimal support for innovation within companies and to improve the intercultural climate. Partners from both sides of the border were involved in every initiative.
Our project partners were SDU Sønderborg (lead), Flensburg University of Applied Sciences, the European University of Flensburg, the Rendsburg-Eckernförde Economic Development Agency, Sønderborg Vækstråd, Business Aabenraa, and the Mind Factory by Ecco.
You can find all the information about the activities and project initiatives we’ve carried out on LinkedIn, on the ARTEMIS website, and in this flyer.
A practical example from one of the first pilot companies, the unpackaged store “AbfüllBar” in Rendsburg, can be found here.
ARTEMIS was funded by Interreg Germany-Denmark.

The Business DE-DK project aims to meet the cooperative challenges in the northern German and southern Danish border region.
The Business DE-DK project aims to help counteract the labor shortage in the border region, promote economic cooperation and create a more visible and attractive border region for current and future generations of employers and job seekers from all over the world.
We need to become much better at cooperating and coordinating between companies, institutions and initiatives in the border region in order to improve cross-border economic cooperation and thereby strengthen cross-border added value for the region’s economy and citizens.
The aim of Business DE-DK is
to collect data and create a better overview of the many opportunities, needs and measures in the border region. We would like to reach out to the organizations, initiatives, politicians, etc. in the region and investigate what measures are being taken to promote economic cooperation in the border region and what data and information is needed. These results and the information sought are communicated and made freely accessible to all via an ambitious media channel.
Within the framework of Business DE-DK, a cross-border economic network of business people, business consultants, professors and others interested in cross-border economic cooperation will be established. The network offers the opportunity to share knowledge, network and initiate cooperation and business.
The project is also investigating how a cross-border economic council could function. A council made up of influential business people from across the border region to discuss the economy of the border region, identify the biggest challenges and hopefully contribute to the solutions.
Business DE-DK is financed by Interreg Germany-Denmark, with funding from the European Regional Development Fund. Find out more about Interreg Germany-Denmark under this link.

GrønBusiness project (2023-2026)

Goals and priorities
GrønBusiness was aimed in particular at smaller companies that do not have their own resources for comprehensive sustainability strategies. The focus was on the three central fields of action:
A particular focus was on the transition to a circular economy and the development of sustainable business models.
Measures and offers in the project
Over the course of the project, a wide range of support services were developed and implemented:
The measures were designed jointly by German and Danish business development agencies and scientifically supported by university partners.
The aim of the funding was to raise companies’ awareness of sustainable business practices in the long term and to provide concrete impetus for implementation.
The project was funded by Interreg Germany-Danmark and co-financed by the European Union.
Sustainable impact: The GrønBusiness info portal
Even after the project has been completed, the content and knowledge developed will be retained:
With the GrønBusiness info portal will continue to provide a central platform that supports companies and business development organizations in their sustainable transformation.
