Baltic Energy Island – Green qualifications
Business Lighthouse II, EU-supported project
Baltic Energy Island - Green Skills, strengthens both energy-related educational programmes on Bornholm and promotes innovation on Bornholm through strong collaboration between students and green energy companies.
Through both business-oriented collaboration with students and targeted educational and competence development programmes, we help you, among other things, focus on employees' skills development and the company's access to qualified knowledge and labour from vocational and higher education institutions.
Who can take part?
The project is open to both established Bornholm-based companies, particularly SMEs, and companies from the rest of Denmark that see potential in establishing themselves on Bornholm in connection with the development of the energy island, offshore wind projects and PtX technologies in the Baltic Sea region.
If you are interested in collaborating with students and researchers from DTU and other universities, or if you are ready to upskill employees and engage in systematic and strategic competency planning, contact us today.

Business Lighthouse Bornholm
Business Lighthouse Bornholm is part of a larger national strategy in Denmark that aims to create regional business development by establishing various lighthouses (or "lighthouse projects") in selected regions. These lighthouses focus on specific sectors or industries where the regions have particular strengths or potentials.
For Bornholm, the business lighthouse is focused on energy and particularly green energy, which includes the development of energy islands, offshore wind energy, sustainable energy solutions and associated industries. The aim of Business Lighthouse Bornholm is to attract investments, create new jobs, support local businesses and promote innovation within the green energy sector.
The initiative is to help Bornholm utilise its unique geographical and natural resources, which are ideal for renewable energy projects. By doing this, it is hoped that Bornholm will become a central player in Denmark's green transition, while at the same time creating economic growth and development in the region.
