Companies, hospitals and universities cooperate in the development of new methods and solutions for the automation of sterile centres and procedure packing at hospitals, thereby making cleaning and packaging of surgical instruments and equipment more efficient. The solutions are implemented at existing hospitals and the new super hospitals under construction in Denmark. The first elements of the solutions have been implemented and are the first of their kind in the world. When fully deployed at the approximately 30 public sterile centres in Denmark, they alone are expected to deliver savings of DKK 110 million annually (15 million EURO). Business development “Denmark is the country that has made the greatest advancements in the digitalisation of hospitals, municipalities and medical practices. Therefore, it is also the easiest place to develop e-health and tele-medicine solutions involving all parties.” SOCIETY WILL HAVE AN INCREASING POPULATION OF CITIZENS WHO REQUIRE CARE WHILE THE SHARE OF WORKING PEOPLE IS FALLING. THIS IS THE CHALLENGE AROUND WHICH WE ARE BUILDING AN INDUSTRY! A market-driven cluster Denmark has a long tradition of a good and extensive welfare system. The Danish system has prioritised an equal right to benefits for all. But this is exerting increasing pressure on the national economy as the group of senior citizens is growing larger than the working population. To address this development, politicians have decided that we must develop and make use of technological solutions to meet these increasing requirements and form the basis for a new area of business. Denmark possesses special strength in this field. We have a tradition of good welfare benefits. There are few hierarchies in Danish society. And we are good at composing new solutions from existing technologies. At Welfare Tech, we utilise these strengths to create new business opportunities by innovating and implementing new solutions. We do this through our large network and an approach that brings together talented healthcare professionals from a range of environments in fruitful collaborations. DID YOU KNOW?

The national bicycle strategy 4.| Denmark - on your bike! Denmark - on your bike! Published by: Ministry of Transport Frederiksholms Kanal 27F 1220 Copenhagen K Prepared by: Ministry of Transport ISBN internet version: 978-87-91511-93-6 Frontpage image: Danish Road Directorate Niclas Jessen, Panorama Ulrik Jantzen FOREWORD | 5v Foreword Denmark has a long tradition for cycling and that makes us somewhat unique in the world. We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.

  • ODENSE in Municipal Buildings Denmark
    Energy Management ODENSE in Municipal Buildings Denmark The experience of Denmark in energy labelling for buildings is currently the most advanced in Europe. The energy management approach of Odense was developed in the context of the long Danish history of promoting energy saving in the building sector. The city of Odense has progressively reduced the energy consumption of its buildings over the past twenty years through better monitoring, management and improved equipment and insulation standards saving 48 millions euros over the period 1981-2002. THE CITY Located at the very heart of Denmark, Odense, Denmark's third-largest city and the capital of the island of Funen (Denmark's second-largest island), has about 185 000 inhabitants. The city of Hans Christian Andersen is one of the oldest cities of the country and dates back to pre-Viking times. A bishop's seat from the 10th century, it became a centre of pilgrimage to the shrine of Canute. It grew after its port and harbour were built and the Odense Canal was opened in 1804. It is now a major shipbuilding and manufacturing centre. Climatic data: Annual mean temperature: 7.9 °C Degree days: 3,112 DANISH CONTEXT The energy-labelling scheme for buildings The energy-labelling scheme is a part of the overall Danish policy to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and especially to reduce the energy consumption of existing buildings. The general rules for the scheme are given in the Act to Promote Energy and Water Savings in Buildings of June 1996 and the two Executive Orders on Energy Labelling etc.
