International Cooperation

The Agency for Digital Government participates in a number of forums for international cooperation on digitalisation and digital government, including in the context of the EU, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the OECD.

Denmark in International Forums

The Agency for Digital Government's role is to ensure that Denmark’s say in international proposals, initiatives, and projects, with an impact on the national public digital service infrastructures as well as the public sector’s delivery of digital services, is firmly rooted in technical expertise. This includes contributing to ensure international alignment with the existing secure and user-centred digital services and service infrastructures in Denmark. Additionally, the Agency for Digital Government participates independently in a number of international forums.

We also seek to improve standards for digital government, including in data interoperability between sectors and across borders, and for the introduction of new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence in the public sector. We also work to increase the general level of public digital services in the EU to ensure more uniform and coherent public services across borders.

Finally, the Agency for Digital Government participates in a number of recurring international surveys, such as the European Union’s eGovernment Benchmark, the OECD’s Digital Government Index, and the UN’s E-Government Survey.
