Nordic Industry 4.0 Skills Summit
The Danish Business Authority (DBA) is currently leading a Nordic project with the purpose of enhancing the level of automation and digitisation in Nordic manufacturing companies. The project was initiated in 2015 as part of the Danish chairmanship for the Nordic Council of Ministers.
As part of the project, potentials and barriers for enhanced digitisation and automation in the Nordic manufacturing sector have been identified. Furthermore, extensive research on what policy measures that already exist in the Nordic countries to address the identified barriers was then carried out. Based on an assessment of whether and how it is possible to increase the value of the existing initiatives at a joint Nordic level, suggestions for four cross-Nordic initiatives were developed, one of them being an annual Nordic summit centred on the supply and demand of relevant skills in the manufacturing sector.
