Summary

The Just Transition Fund (JTF) Denmark allocates EUR 89 million to support the North and South Jutland regions in their transition to a climate-neutral economy. The fund is part of the EU's broader Just Transition Mechanism and is administered nationally by Erhvervsstyrelsen (Danish Business Authority). The thematic scope focuses on the green and digital transition, with priority investment in: CO2 capture and storage technologies, hydrogen-related technologies, and competence and skills development for the green transition. Objective 1, 'Create a coherent Denmark with strong local business lighthouses,' is the primary objective related to skills and business development. Eligible activities vary by specific call round published by Erhvervsstyrelsen, but broadly include projects supporting economic diversification, green technology adoption, job creation, and upskilling workers in the transition areas. The fund targets regional-level interventions. The geographic scope is strictly limited to North Jutland and South Jutland, Denmark. Only projects located in or benefiting these two regions are eligible. The programme runs until January 31, 2027. Specific applicant types, funding amounts, and deadlines depend on individual call rounds published by the Danish Business Authority. The partnership agreement aligns with EU priorities for cohesion, green transition, and competitive growth. The JTF is listed on the Pact for Skills platform as it supports competence and skills development as part of the green transition.
