Strategy – Research
The world is full of problems that can be solved in a better way. Innovative and ground-breaking technologies contributing to solving the world’s water and climate challenges have always been our recipe for success – always in close collaboration with leading researchers.
How we invest in Research & Innovation
Our aspiration is to create knowledge and solutions for the world’s water-related challenges and rethink future industrial production with a transition towards sustainability and a circular economy.
We address the following challenges:
- Increasing pressure on planetary boundaries – Achieving net-zero operation of companies, industries and societies in general is still a long way off.
- Sustainable production industry – A paradigm shift is needed towards circularity thinking in industry and society.
- Water research in Denmark – Denmark has lost its international leadership position.
Our thematic focal points:
- Define research challenges centred around real-world problems and build bridges from laboratory work and learning to societal impact.
- Create and engage in research and innovation platforms in collaboration with other funders.
- Invest in and nurture knowledge clusters around key Grundfos locations and inspire the next generation to work on climate and water solutions.
“Relentless innovation was the driving force for our founder, Poul Due Jensen.“
