However, it is not only the companies themselves, who are responsible for exploiting data-driven opportunities, says the Chairman.

“It is the Growth Council’s experience that we need to take action to create the right framework for data driven growth. This should be partly done by enabling companies to use data on secure basis, and by ensuring that they have access to knowledge and skills and public data. And finally, the companies themselves need to focus on new business models and investments”.

The Danish Minister for Business and Growth, Henrik Sass Larsen says: “In Government, we are very interested in the opportunities that Big Data and new technologies create for Danish companies. It is a theme that is central to the growth plan for digitalisation, and in the work with Denmark as a production country in the future. Our wish is that the big potential of data-driven growth is used in the best way possible”.
