World Outgames has been awarded a grant of more than six million Danish kroner (approximately 805,000 Euros) from the Danish national Marketing Fund administered by the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs.
World Outgames 2009 has received a multi-million kroner share of the Danish National Marketing Fund set aside to promote Denmark abroad. Funding is granted every year to support activities that increase awareness about the social and cultural values and achievements that make Denmark an attractive place to visit, live and do business.
The grant of more than DKK six million (approximately 805,000 Euros) to World Out-games is specifically earmarked to support the project’s marketing activities. This is in addition to the 25 mio Danisk kroner (approximately 3.3 mio Euros) already granted by the Copenhagen Municipality.
”This grant creates the absolute best condition for us to tell the great story about World Outgames to our international target audience,” said Uffe Elbæk, CEO of World Out-games 2009.
In addition to the grant from the Marketing Fund, World Outgames is supported by the City of Copenhagen, the Institute of Human Rights, Amnesty International, SAS, IBM, the Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations and the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark among many.
