Summary
The Environmental Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (MUDP) is a Danish national grant programme administered by Miljøstyrelsen (the Danish Environmental Protection Agency) under the Ministry of Environment. It allocates approximately DKK 130 million annually to support companies, research institutions, and public authorities in developing and demonstrating innovative environmental technologies. The programme covers four project types: pre-projects (feasibility studies for SMEs), ETV projects (Environmental Technology Verification for existing technologies), development/test/demonstration projects, and flagship projects (full-scale technology demonstrations). Flagship projects must involve the entire value chain for technology dissemination and exceed existing Danish and EU environmental standards. Thematic priorities include circular economy and sustainable resource utilisation, with plastic recycling, textile reuse, electronics, and bio-based materials explicitly listed as eligible focus areas. The programme also covers energy, water, nature protection, and air quality technologies. Deadlines for 2026: April 13 for pre-projects and ETV; May 19 for development/test/demonstration projects; August 25 for flagship projects. Applications are submitted via the ecoinnovation.dk portal. The programme publishes annually with applications opening around February each year.
