1st Mile is proud to have developed and delivered the winning application that secured DKK 103 million in funding from EIFO’s Investment Scheme for Green Industrial Production for Topsil GlobalWafers A/S.

This funding will enable the construction of a ~DKK 700 million factory in Frederikssund – the world’s most advanced facility for the production of ultra-pure Float Zone silicon.

Why is this so important? Because ultra-pure silicon is a cornerstone of modern infrastructure. It powers the green transition (wind turbines, EVs, transformers), enables breakthroughs in quantum computing, and strengthens defense technologies. Today, only a handful of factories worldwide can produce it – and with this investment, Denmark secures its place as a global epicenter of silicon production.

1st Mile’s role

At 1st Mile, we have made calculations, financing plans and budgets, uncovered risks, carried out market analyses and descriptions, developed the execution plan, secured support from Topsil’s customers, and much more, and submitted this winning application. It is a testament to our fantastic team and to Topsil’s vision and exemplary collaboration.

A proven partnership

This is not the first time 1st Mile has delivered for Topsil. In December 2024, we also secured DKK 44 million from EUDP for the development of next-generation Float Zone technology, in collaboration with DTU. 

With each successful application, 1st Mile demonstrates how our expertise in strategic funding, financial structuring, and project storytelling transforms ambitious industrial visions into fully financed realities.
