Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster is a cluster initiative launched in 2009 by Danish cleantech companies, research institutions and public organisations. Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster is based on a triple helix model. This model focuses on university-industry-government interactions and it has been recognised as a key to innovation in knowledge-based societies. Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster operates as a neutral platform and focus lies more on how to solve or ease current problems and barriers in the cleantech sector, rather than merely on promoting the newest technologies. .
