Denmark's Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) warns that the country risks losing digital sovereignty without significant investment in technology. DI advocates for an additional DKK 1 billion annually to strengthen capabilities in critical technologies like AI and cybersecurity.

This call to action aligns with the government's ongoing development of a national digital sovereignty plan, which has currently allocated DKK 80 million. The emphasis is on enhancing control over digital infrastructure to ensure resilience amid geopolitical tensions. DI posits that cloud services, data centers, and AI should be recognized as essential infrastructure, similar to energy and transport, to maintain societal functions and global competitiveness.
