By contributing a small economic aid to students' early startup of their own business, the long-term goal is to create growth companies that contribute with jobs, export income and growth in society.
The Micro Grant gives pupils/students the opportunity to gain valuable experience with entrepreneurship.

At the same time, the purpose of the initiative is to raise a positive awareness about entrepreneurship and talented entrepreneurs at the Danish educational institutions. Here, the Micro Grant recipients often function as role models for their peers. Each year, we receive around 400 applications and award around 130 Micro Grants.
