A highly digitised and IT-savvy
public sector
In many countries, the public sector is lagging behind. But in
Denmark, the public sector has served as a spearhead for digitising
the entire nation.
All interaction with the authorities has been digitised for both private
citizens and businesses. Communication is via digital mailboxes and
there’s even an online self-service portal to facilitate establishing
a company.
In fact, 100% of all companies and 94% of the population have
a digital signature (NemID), which is used to easily access a
comprehensive range of public services, online banking and
much more.
High technological readiness
The Danes rank second in the EU for IT skills
according to IMD, but their technological
readiness goes beyond this.
They are not just capable but also very positive
about the opportunities that new technology
brings, and are more likely than the Germans
or the French, among others, to view new
technology as an enabler.
New technologies offer more
opportunities than risks
