Who we are

MADE was launched to create a national network in which manufacturing actors in Denmark meet each other, share knowledge and establish collaborations across institutions, branches of business and geography.

Companies, universities, RTOs and educational institutions thus are active in MADE with the aim of developing innovative solutions to common challenges and to use MADE as a national platform for the spreading of knowledge and new, technological solutions in Danish industry.

Collection and use of information

To reach the goals described above, MADE collects and uses some general personal data such as names, workplaces and e-mail addresses. MADE needs this data, for instance, to call for and facilitate meetings between the partners in MADE’s research activities or to send practical information on our many events.

MADE uses your information purely for specific and professional purposes. The information that MADE holds about you, and the purpose for which it is used, depends solely on your relation to MADE.
