The Danish Agency for Digital Government
Developing the digital public sector
The Danish Digital Journey
For more than 20 years, the Danish national government, municipalities, and regions have worked closely together to build a strong digital service infrastructure that serves as the public sector’s foundation for delivering public services to residents and businesses in Denmark.
Strategy
Public authorities at all levels collaborate strategically to deliver top public services, fostering a digital mindset and a shared vision for a digital public sector.
Systems
Denmark has a joined-up national digital service infrastructure, which enables public authorities at all government levels to deliver world-class digital services to the population round the clock.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI offers great potential for growth, prosperity, and top-tier public services. Denmark focuses on human-centred, responsible AI to address ethical challenges posed by the technology.
International Cooperation
Denmark engages in various international digital government forums, including the EU, European Coalition of the Willing, Nordic Council of Ministers, Digital Nations, and OECD.
Digital-Ready Legislation
Since 2018, broad political support has backed simplifying Danish legislation. Digital-ready laws ease civil servants’ workload making rules clearer for residents and businesses.
Digital Inclusion
Society must make digital solutions accessible to all. The Agency for Digital Government ensures targeted communication and assistance to groups with special digital needs.
