Summary

The Just Transition Fund (JTF) for Denmark allocates EUR 89 million from EU cohesion policy funds to North and South Jutland regions to support their transition to a climate-neutral economy. This fund is part of the broader EU Just Transition Mechanism under the European Green Deal. Thematic scope focuses on: CO2 capture and storage technologies; hydrogen-related technologies; competence and skills development (particularly through Objective 1 'Create a coherent Denmark with strong local business lighthouses'); green and digital transition; sustainable and innovative growth. The primary audience is organisations operating in North and South Jutland that can contribute to these transition priorities. Eligible activities include skills training, technology deployment, business development, and local economic diversification in transitioning regions. Industrial ecosystem coverage spans agrifood, aerospace, automotive, construction, digital, energy-intensive industries, health, renewable energy, retail, tourism, and others. Geographic scope is strictly limited to North and South Jutland regions of Denmark. Eligible applicants include organisations active in the target regions. The programme is administered by Erhvervsstyrelsen (Danish Business Authority). Applications are made through the Danish Business Authority's development portal. The programme period runs 2021-2027 with a final deadline of 31 January 2027. This is a single-stage call at regional level.

Historical Context

Denmark's partnership agreement with the European Commission was adopted in May 2022. JTF funds for Denmark specifically target North and South Jutland — historically industrial areas requiring transition support.
