Digital Hub Denmark

Digital Hub Denmark is Denmark's information portal for the different target groups involved or active in the technology industry. Launched in 2018, the non-profit initiative aims to offer support to the Danish technological system and connect local and national digital talents and start-ups with European and global investors and hubs. 

Another objective is to raise the overall profile of the Danish industry within the technological dimension, attract projects and contribute to the development of technological ecosystems, identified as essential for the future of the Danish economy. The organisation focuses on technological development in areas like finance, health, agriculture and food, property and retail, education, robotics, and the creative sector. It gathers data on these individual digital ecosystems to provide targeted and relevant advice to stakeholders and actors in the field. 

About Digital Hub Denmark

The initiative also includes guidance and introduction to a series of topics, useful to anyone interested in studying, working and living in Denmark with a special focus on technology. Users can also find information on relevant jobs in the field, as well as relevant details on how to introduce one's taxes in the public system, what immigration services are available. Further content on the Danish education and work scene, such as start-ups, industries and educational institutions is also available through Digital Hub Denmark.

Digital Hub Denmark has succeeded in building a thriving community and an environment with fast-growing technological ecosystems, and also facilitates funding and pooling of resources by investors. Deployed as one of Denmark's main initiatives operating within the framework of Denmark's digital growth strategy, Digital Hub Denmark advances national digitalisation policy, attracting digital talents throughout the world. 

Why is this a good practice? 

Since the start of the initiative, Digital Hub Denmark has been working to connect digital talent across Denmark to local, regional, EU and global labour market needs. Ultimately, the aim is to catapult Denmark's best ICT experts to deliver future-proof solutions and up- and re-skill others. A database of over 20,000 aspiring talents in tech, eager to pursue opportunities within the Danish tech industry, has been created as a result. 

Digital Hub Denmark has been instrumental in driving forward Denmark's contribution towards reaching the targets of the EU Digital Decade of getting to 20 million ICT experts in Europe. The talent pool of digital experts in Denmark increased with 22% from 2021 to 2023. Digital Hub Denmark continues to address digital talent shortages - and is projected to reach 50,000 specialists by 2030, more than double its current figure.
