MADE in Denmark

Manufacturing Academy of Denmark MADE was launched in 2014 to strengthen the Danish manufacturing ecosystem through applied research, development and innovation. MADE unites manufacturing companies, universities and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) in an innovative collaboration that exploits and enhances the strongholds for which Denmark is world renowned. Denmark’s main assets include its well-established digital infrastructure in the public and private sector, and the use of internet services, integration of digital technology as well as the delivery of online public services. The Danish Government has a well-coordinated strategy when it comes to digitisation. For example, the Government launched a comprehensive national strategy in 2018 with 38 different initiatives to keep Denmark at the forefront of digital development. Pillars 2 and 3 are well covered with a total of four national initiatives that support the digitising industry in Denmark. Some of the initiatives have been running since 2014 or earlier such as MADE, RoboCluster and InfinIT while the majority of the initiatives have been launched in 2018 in connection to the new strategy for Denmark’s Digital Growth (e.g. Digital Hub Denmark)
