Denmark second strongest engineering nation in the world
Denmark takes the top two spot in the list of countries by engineering strength in a new Engineering Index, with high employment in engineering, excellent digital connectivity, high average engineering wages, and high-quality infrastructure.
The first-ever Engineering Index is based on a report, commissioned by the Royal Academy of Engineering, ranking 99 countries by their engineering strength; its workforce, output, prospective recruits, the quality of research and where its impacts are most needed.
Denmark is an engineering top performer:
- Engineering employment: 100%
- Digital connectivity: 100%
- Infrastructure quality: 84%
- Wages and salaries: 81%
- Gender balance: 73%
- Human capital: 63%
- Research: 50%
- Engineering business: 32%
- Engineering exports: 30%
A score of 100% indicates that a country outstrips all other countries in the prevalence of a particular index component.
Biomedicine, infrastructure, foods and new manufacturing material
Engineering are responsible for some of the most important advanced in biomedicine, and they have played a key role in building the infrastructure around us – from roads to utility networks. Engineers also play a role in the development of food and new materials, such as cutting-edge foams and coatings to be used in manufacturing.
fact About the Engineering Index
This report considers the impact of engineering on economic development on a global scale. For the first time, this report brings together all available data from 99 countries to paint a picture of global engineering. It uses a comprehensive selection of indicators to calculate a new 'Engineering index’: a measure of the engineering strength of different countries.
