PROPOSAL FOR DANISH SOUND INNOVATION PROJECT
Danish Sound defines an innovation project as a project which combines existing research and know-how
with creative applications with the purpose of creating new products, services and experience economy
solutions. I.e. to put an innovative idea into practical application as products or services.
New research is thus not a feature of an innovation project. However, the innovation project creates new
solutions to present challenges with great market potential.
Danish Sound encourages broad projects (preferably with more than the minimum three participants of
which two are private companies and one is a consortium partner). A clear description of the "pull effect"
concerning the project results is mandatory. I.e. who will be leveraging the project results and how? The
length of the project (financed by Danish Sound) should be approx. 2 months and must have a clear exit
strategy. Proposals that work as pre-projects for bigger projects (e.g. Advanced Technology Projects) are
encouraged. The projects should be conducted at a pre-competitive level sufficiently detached from
ongoing development projects. Participants should therefore be prepared to accept that significant parts of
the project results are going to be disseminated through the network.
