Danish companies are European AI frontrunners

This puts Denmark at the top of the EU, with Portugal at 17% (2nd place) and 16 % in Finland (3rd place).

With several leading universities within AI research and 66 education programs, Denmark’s is becoming increasingly attractive for AI development.
