BII Early Innovators Grant

Turn Your Idea Into Action

The BII Early Innovators Grant helps students and recent graduates take the next step with ambitious ideas in health, sustainability, deep tech, and quantum technology.

Many great ideas never get tested because the first steps require time, resources, and funding. This grant exists to help bridge that gap. Whether you need to build a prototype, test demand with potential users, explore a market opportunity, or gather evidence that your solution works, the BII Early Innovators Grant can help you move forward.

Successful applicants can access up to DKK 100,000 to support the development and validation of their idea.

The programme is funded by BioInnovation Institute (BII) and administered by KU Lighthouse.
