"In Denmark, we've already shown how the public and private sectors can work together to responsibly implement large-scale digital solutions grounded in democratic values and complex legal frameworks. Digital IDs and digital post are just two examples. This approach has inspired not only Europe but the rest of the world, putting Denmark at the forefront of digital innovation. With this new collaboration, we're once again leading the way—this time in the responsible use of artificial intelligence," says Andre Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany and Chairman of Danish Industry Digital.
