In the 2024 edition of the Digital Decade report, Denmark has achieved 69.6% basic digital skills coverage, compared to the EU average of 55.6%. This puts Denmark at 87% of the overall target for the EU 2030 goal, which aims to have 80% of the EU population possessing at least basic digital skills. The country has seen an annual growth of 0,7% from the previous year. Despite the overall improvements Denmark is still showing important gender differences (only 22.6% of employed ICT specialists are women).

According to the Digital Decade report 2024, Denmark performs better than the EU average in both digital skills indicators. The percentage of ICT specialists in employment has surpassed the EU average, increasing from 5.7% to 5.9% (EU average - 4.8%).

Denmark has comprehensive state strategies in place to drive digitalization. The National Strategy for Digitalization encompasses both the public and private sectors, focusing on cybersecurity, coherent services for individuals and businesses, welfare through technology, and international digitalization. The Digital Growth Strategy 2025 aims to improve digital skills among children, bridge the skills mismatch, and enhance access to skills training for SMEs. The Joint Government Digital Strategy addresses significant societal challenges and promotes digital inclusion. 

In terms of national initiatives, Denmark's Recovery and Resilience Plan invests a significant portion of the budget in digital measures, supporting the digital transition of SMEs and the public sector. Initiatives include tax incentives for digital investments, expanding rural broadband coverage, and digitalizing healthcare. The plan also emphasizes public sector digitalization, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. 

Other initiatives in Denmark include the ReDI School of Digital Integration, providing coding education to locals and newcomers, and the Network for Digital Inclusion, which supports digitally challenged residents. The Danish Government Digital Academy equips civil servants with the necessary skills for a digital public administration.
