A programme to help SMEs achieve greater productivity and competitiveness, particularly through increased automation, digitisation and resource-efficiency gains.

A  total of 1 000 SMEs are offered an initial 'growth check', a customised review of their growth potential and challenges faced carried out between consultants and company management. This initial growth check is free for businesses and results in concrete measures for the company to focus on as part of its development and growth strategy covering aspects such as automation, digitisation, resource efficiency, management, IPR, etc.

Around half of the production companies carrying out the growth check go on to complete a 'growth lift'; concrete advice leading to a growth action plan and specific implementation steps. Companies select the consultant to be used for the growth lift.

Budget allocation 2015-2018: DKK 29.5 million (~€ 4 million)
