COWIfonden has decided to continue its support to help promote innovation and professional development. Therefore, COWIfonden has decided to set aside 2 MDKK in 2024.
COWIfonden will support innovative initiatives based on ongoing discussions and collaborations with partners, experimental work, physical and digital prototyping, but also contributions and participation at workshops and hackathons for employees in COWI Group companies.
COWIfonden does not provide donations to business development or daily operations within COWI, e.g. training of employees or development of IT tools which may increase the employees' efficiency. Additionally, it is a requirement that the innovation initiatives are relevant outside COWI, and that the results will be made available to the public.
Ideas related to the COWI Group's professional fields of activity are welcome and collaboration with external parties is encouraged.
Employees in COWI companies and partners in collaboration with COWI employees.
Project findings are required to be published/made available to the public through the pitch. In addition, it may be considered to include dissemination through publication in international magazines, participation in conferences, social media, release of open-source knowledge and software, and the like. Collaboration with external partners is another possibility.
