Strong interest in MedTech Odense’s new funding opportunities:
“This is the first time we’ve launched IDEA and CONCEPT. Receiving 43 applications in the first round exceeds our expectations. It shows that we’ve tapped into a real potential and need among researchers and healthcare professionals,” says MedTech Odense’s leadership team, Søren E. Frandsen from SDU RIO and Thomas Kielsgaard Kristensen from OUH.
The two extend a thank you to everyone who invested time in finding relevant collaboration partners with the aim of taking ideas and projects to the next level — and making a difference for future patient care.
Now, the applications will be reviewed, and the evaluation process begins. All applicants will receive a response by November 24.
A total of six million DKK will be awarded through IDEA and CONCEPT, bringing MedTech Odense’s total funding in 2025 to 20 million DKK - earlier this year, a pioneering project was awarded funding.
In 2026, MedTech Odense will boost the field further by allocating an additional 20 million DKK.
