Asger Kej (confirmed)
Chief Executive Officer of DHI Group (Approved Technological Service Institute)
“International knowledge dissemination and technology based innovations”
Innovation is a core strategy in coping with the global climate challenges facing society. In the Danish national innovations system the nine approved technological service institutes (GTS) are core innovation drivers and cutting edge knowledge disseminators. For many years the institutes have focused on clean-tech and sustainable energy in stimulating SME innovation. This has been a successful strategy but the challenges we are facing now call for broadened international perspective and cooperation.
