In 2019, the Government, Local Government Denmark, and Danish Regions established an investment fund for new technologies covering the period 2019–2022. The fund supported projects leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to generate practical experience with AI development and implementation in the public sector.
Artificial intelligence presents significant opportunities to drive growth, prosperity, and world-class public services. Between 2020 and 2022, the Danish National Uptake Fund for New Technologies financed 40 projects, offering insights into both the application of AI in the public sector and the challenges associated with its use.
The projects aimed to provide concrete experience with AI across welfare services, climate initiatives, and public administration. For instance, the technology can assist healthcare professionals, offer recommendations for reducing energy consumption, or streamline administrative tasks—freeing up resources for more citizen-focused services.
