Corridor footprint

Innovayt is a Danish innovation consultancy headquartered in Copenhagen whose core business is helping companies, universities and public agencies identify funding opportunities, define funding strategies and prepare high-quality applications for EU and national R&D programmes — then manage the funded projects. The firm describes itself as holding a leading position in exactly two geographies: Scandinavia and Portugal.

The Portuguese operation, Innovayt Portugal, Lda., was established in Braga in 2008 as a wholly-owned arm of the Danish parent and later added a second office in Porto. Together with Copenhagen and Oslo, the two Portuguese offices make Portugal half of the group’s office network — an unusually deep commitment for a Nordic professional-services firm of its size.

Why this matters for the corridor

Innovayt shows the corridor working at the level of knowledge services: a Danish consultancy that has run Portuguese offices for over fifteen years, moving grant-writing craft and EU funding expertise between northern and southern Europe in both directions. For Portuguese scale-ups seeking Horizon-type funding — and Nordic clients seeking Portuguese consortium partners — it sits precisely on the corridor’s seam.
