Innovation through challenges

The GovTech-Program Denmark is a challenge-based initiative, which seeks to support, strengthen and further develop collaboration between the public sector and technology companies with innovative solutions for the Danish Government, more specifically the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs and the Agency for Digitisation.

According to the UN, Denmark is the leading country in the world when it comes to public digitisation. Nevertheless, it is crucial to remain up to speed with the latest technological advances in order to further improve public services through new and innovative solutions. To achieve this, Denmark must become even better at supporting the collaboration between public authorities and tech companies.
