KPI 3
Achieved concrete changes in conduct with major tech companies in a minimum of five specific cases raised on behalf of relevant Danish authorities.
Denmark's tech diplomacy is built on the foundational principle of an ongoing dynamic engagement with the technology sector. We actively bridge the gap between the Danish government and the tech industry, ensuring a two-way communication that enriches both parties. Our mission is to convey the Danish government's perspectives and lines to the tech world while also bringing invaluable industry insights back to inform our national policies. This exchange is crucial for making strides in areas where the tech industry's role is pivotal.
Moreover, our tech diplomacy thrives on establishing and nurturing relationships that enable us to advocate effectively for Danish interests. Over the last two years, we have engaged in meaningful dialogues with tech companies, particularly in the Bay Area, addressing concerns critical to Danish authorities. These conversations have not only been fruitful but have also led to changes in behavior, showcasing the impact of our diplomatic efforts.
