Welfare Tech Region On the supply side, Welfare Tech Region is an intra-regional cluster relationship involving a strong backing and funding by public and private sector partners within the Region of Southern Denmark. The purpose of Welfare Tech Region is to reinforce and expand the range of welfare technology companies in the region based on the positions of strength in robot technology and telemedicine. Moreover, Denmark has a special tradition for applying user-driven innovation methods and user-driven design. In this context the Region of Southern Denmark holds a strong position through the presence of players such as Designskolen Kolding and the Mads Clausen Institute at the University of Southern Denmark.

Venture capital
In cooperation with other West Danish regions, the Region of Southern Denmark is setting up a venture capital fund, which will make more than DKK 100 million available to invest in spin-off companies within the health-related economy. The initiative aims to close gap in the innovation chain by making high-risk funds available to spin-off companies at a very early stage in the innovation chain.
