Who will future-proof Denmark?

Technology has never been more important. To prepare for the future, we need to protect ourselves against cyberattacks and maintain control of our critical data. That is why we must invest more in research and educate more people in STEM.

Denmark has a shortage of highly educated people

By 2040, Denmark will face a shortfall of over 20,000 highly qualified professionals in STEM.

Our critical infrastructure is vulnerable

A number of IDA experts have assessed how well prepared various sectors are to deal with threats.

Shortage of STEM graduates is a problem

The EU is dependent on critical technologies

An analysis shows that this dependence can be reduced through a more skilled workforce and research.

Denmark lacks digital sovereignty

IDA experts believe that this poses a threat to Denmark’s critical infrastructure and IT security.

IDA recommends

Increased research, development and education in the STEM fields can significantly strengthen Denmark’s position.
