Acceleration Program Unmanned Systems (APUS)

Run by Odense Robotics.

APUS is Odense Robotics' acceleration programme for Danish SMEs building unmanned systems for defence, security and dual-use applications, with projects running six to eighteen months. Participants can receive up to DKK 620,000 for testing, technology and business consultancy, market readiness and partner matching, with at least an equivalent co-financing contribution in hours or funds. The award is grant funding rather than an investment, so no stake is taken.
