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.”
