New life for used mooring lines
“The support of the Vissing Foundation will enable Acckon to continue developing and testing the technology, so that it can be implemented on a larger scale and contribute to more circular and sustainable management of plastic in the maritime sector.”

Acckon
Drones for inspection at sea
“We are developing a drone-based system that can operate in demanding offshore environments and provide access to areas that today are expensive, difficult or dangerous to inspect with the usual methods.”

KYRA Robotics ApS
New technology to keep water clean in the home
“Njord Aqua is a Danish water treatment start-up from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and is developing a simple, robust solution to a specific problem with the support of the Vissing Foundation among others.”

Njord Aqua
Breast cancer and low-dose hormonal treatment
“With the support of the Vissing Foundation we will analyse data from Danish health registers to investigate whether low-dose Vagifem increases the risk of recurrence of breast cancer.”

Danish Cancer Institute
Testicular cancer and long-term side effects
“Testicular cancer affects approximately 300 men annually in Denmark. Most are cured, but many have long-term side effects.

Aarhus University Hospital
Earlier detection – fewer unnecessary procedures
“When screening for colorectal cancer, only 2–5% of colonoscopies lead to a diagnosis. Researchers at Hvidovre Hospital are now developing new screening methods which are more precise, less uncomfortable, and cost less.”

Hvidovre Hospital
Holidays, communities and new friends
“For many children the summer camp is the first time they have ever been on holiday. They can try bouncy castles, water fights, football and laser tag; they go on outings and play in UNO tournaments – but most important of all, they make new friends and feel they belong.”

Danish Red Cross Youth
Supports young people on their way to adult life
“With support from the Vissing Foundation Bindeleddet promotes well-being and good relations, reinforcing young people's ability to act independently. These young people have been in care away from home, and need support.”

Fonden Bindeleddet (The Link Foundation)
Reusing conveyor belts
“With the help of new technology, PMP Recycling has found a way of reusing plastic conveyor belts, so that they need not be sent for incineration.”

PMP Recycling
Stable charging for EVs
“Lumina is an AI-based solution for operating and maintaining chargers for EVs. Software monitors the charger network, registers errors and problems automatically, and deals with them immediately.”

Lumina
Building with reused concrete
“We aim to facilitate reuse of concrete elements instead of crushing them. Our system documents the quality of the concrete before demolition and gives materials a digital passport.”

circrete
Monitoring marine life near offshore wind turbines
“Anemo Robotics is developing new solutions to monitor marine life using underwater cameras in combination with AI.”

Anemo Robotics
From greenhouse gas to stone
“The Sunstones project aims to extend knowledge of CO₂ mineralisation in Denmark. CO₂ mineralisation is a means of removing CO₂ from the air by converting the greenhouse gas into a solid similar to limestone.”

Sunstones
Sensor to detect methane leaks
“QVersion is developing a small, robust sensor which can detect methane leaks from biogas plants, using light to determine whether there is methane in the air.”

QVersion
Fossil-free limestone with CO₂ capture in the sea
“With the help of the Vissing Foundation we can take a decisive step towards introducing CO₂ removal as an integrated part of a large, existing industrial market. Our goal is to combine fossil-free production of materials with use of green energy.”

FlowMinerals
Green electricity at any time
“ShipTown is developing H-Battery, which is technology to ensure stable green electricity at all times. When power is green and cheap, H-battery produces and stores hydrogen, which can later be converted back into electricity.”

ShipTown
The green fuel of the future
“In this project we are developing new technology that can convert harmful CO₂ emissions into useful products instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.”

University of Southern Denmark
Cancer and gene changes
“The Vissing Foundation is supporting a research project where the aim is to make better assessments of genetic changes in the MSH6 gene in Danish cancer patients.”

Rigshospital
Less Medication – fewer adverse reactions
“We are investigating whether lower doses of medication have equally good effects in patients with blood cancer – with fewer adverse reactions and better quality of life. At the same time, the lower doses mean considerable savings for the health services."

Odense University Hospital
Better treatment options for prostate cancer
“The overall aim of our research project is to improve diagnostic precision and ensure the best possible choice of treatment for the individual patient with prostate cancer.”

Aarhus University Hospital
Training volunteers
“With the support of the Vissing Foundation we will be able to train more volunteers who can help families with children when they are facing a crisis. It makes a big and positive difference.”

Home-Start Aarhus
Strengthening deaf children’s language
“The Sign Language Package PLUS is a project to support deaf children and children with hearing loss with early language learning, and to give their parents specific tools to maintain comfortable communications at home.”

Danish Deaf Association
A secure start with leisure interests
“This project, Safe Communities for Children and Young People with Special Needs, creates small, friendly and manageable groups where children can transition successfully into normal club life.”

Hørsholm Volunteer Centre & Self help
Positive summer activities
“Our aim is to provide secure and positive summer activities in 2026 for about 2,000 children and young people through camps and outings, and it is only possible when funds like the Vissing Foundation support our work,”

Church Integration Ministries (KIT)
Young people and violence in close relationships
“Talk about violence for Young People is a nationwide pilot project for people aged 18–25 who have suffered violence in close relationships and have taken steps to get away from the violence.”

Center for Violence Prevention
Making a fresh start at a Christmas Seal Home
“We believe all adults should take responsibility for children’s well-being, and we are delighted that the Vissing Foundation is supporting our important work.”

Christmas Seal Homes
Unforgettable holidays
“Blue Cross holiday camps give vulnerable children a break from a tough daily life. The camps give children hope, self-esteem and courage to face life, with a knowledge of where they can go for help when everyday challenges pile up again.”
