It also states 51% of measures are set to expire by end-2026 and highlights participation in EU initiatives such as the Alliance for Language Technologies, the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) and the Chips JU.
- Background and implementation details: The report documents that Denmark allocates 28% (EUR 0.4 billion) of its recovery and resilience plan to digital and EUR 0.06 billion (14% of cohesion policy funding) to digital transformation; it flags the upcoming end of the current digitalisation strategy in 2027, a new national cyber agreement running until 2029, planned curriculum changes in 2027-2028, and recommends scaling SME digitalisation, AI uptake (via the AI-Boost hub and EDIHs), skills expansion, quantum commercialisation and cyber implementation.
