This document summarizes Denmark's Recovery and Resilience Plan. It provides background on Denmark, including its population, government, economy, and relationship with the EU. It then outlines Denmark's original 1.5 billion recovery plan, which focused on climate and digital transitions. The plan is being amended to reallocate 10% additional funding from green transition to digital strategy. This is expected to provide 66.5 million more for digital initiatives and improve productivity. Focusing more on digital offers benefits like better investment returns, economic growth, and job creation, but also poses challenges around infrastructure, implementation, skills, and data utilization.

the billions of chips needed in a digital society.
Facilities at the National Centre for Nanofabrication and Characterization (DTU Nanolab), Denmark have research, innovation, and
product development under one roof.
A future NATO centre for research in quantum technology is planned on Danish soil
Rapid digitalization risks exposing economies to new and more intense cyber vulnerabilities, as new technologies and an ever-
expanding attack surface enables a more dangerous and diverse range of cybercrimes
