MADE Digital was launched in 2017 as a new research program in MADE – Manufacturing Academy of Denmark.

MADE Digital builds on the research of MADE SPIR with the aim of accelerating the digital transformation of Danish manufacturing companies. MADE Digital is a Danish equivalent to Germany’s Industrie 4.0, but suited to Danish conditions. Many companies in Denmark are among the best in the world within their niches, producing in small volume to customer specific needs, and Danish industry has a tradition of collaboration and mutual trust. These are the strengths, MADE Digital builds upon.

In MADE Digital, large companies collaborate with smaller companies, research teams from universities and technical experts from the RTOs. They collaborate in nine different work packages, which you can read more about here.
