The Danish Government's Knowledge Strategy – knowledge in growth

About the publication

Denmark is one of the world's most prosperous countries. Many factors influence our prosperity, but there is no doubt that Denmark's extensive educational system has resulted in a highly qualified workforce, which is the foundation for Denmark's competitive companies and excellent public institutions.

This focus on education – in all its aspects – must not be lost. However, it is also necessary to seriously consider how knowledge can be converted into growth and prosperity in the future Danish knowledge society. This is why the Government has developed this knowledge strategy, which is comprised of several essential messages about future efforts in the area.

This policy statement to the Danish Parliament is a brief summary of the Government's knowledge strategy. A longer version, complete with comprehensive statistics and documentation is available in the accompanying background report prepared by the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
