Danish innovation clusters seeking technology met with Korean special zone companies seeking markets.<\/p>\n
The Innopolis Foundation said Thursday it hosted the “2026 INNOPOLIS-Denmark Cluster to Cluster Business Meetup” at the D-Unicorn Lounge in the Daejeon Science Complex, together with representatives of major Danish innovation clusters.<\/p>\n
This year, industry, academia and research delegations in advanced manufacturing revisited the special zones alongside the existing energy sector, broadening the scope of cooperation.<\/p>\n
The Innopolis Foundation focused on directly connecting deep-tech companies within the special zones seeking to enter the European market with Danish institutions and companies searching for innovative technologies.<\/p>\n
About 40 participants from both countries attended, including a delegation of some 20 members centered on MADE (Manufacturing Academy of Denmark), Denmark’s national manufacturing innovation cluster. The delegation also included global companies such as Danfoss A\/S and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, along with major universities and research institutions including the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Aarhus University.<\/p>\n
In the first session, four promising companies from the special zones introduced their technologies and explored cooperation needs and linkage plans with Danish companies and clusters through one-on-one business matching. The participating companies were Advanced Lab (silicon nitride-based advanced ceramic materials and components), Acromet (soft magnetic material-based power conversion components), WIM (physical AI-based robot control and automation solutions), and Posol Innotec (highly corrosion-resistant coatings that control metal corrosion mechanisms).<\/p>\n
In the second session, the delegation visited Narma, the first research institute-based company spun off from the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, to examine its tilt-rotor-based Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology, which can operate in urban, mountainous and island areas without runways. Discussions also covered proof-of-concept (PoC) testing and commercialization linkages within Danish industry.<\/p>\n
The Innopolis Foundation plans to continue expanding cooperation between industry, academia and research clusters in both countries to actively support the global expansion of special zone companies.<\/p>\n
“Korea’s R&D special zones are a highly competitive innovation ecosystem where technology-based companies are concentrated,” MADE CEO Nigel Edmondson said. “We will expand various technology cooperation opportunities applicable to Korean companies and industrial sites.”<\/p>\n
“We will continue to connect with Danish innovation clusters, which have world-class competitiveness in fields such as energy and advanced manufacturing,” Innopolis Foundation Chairman Jeong Hee-kwon said. “This can serve as a stepping stone for special zone companies to enter the European market.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Participants at the “2026 R&D Special Zone\u2013Denmark Cluster-Based Business Meetup” pose for a commemorative photo.
