Digital Tech Summit 2024 | Teknologiens Mediehus | 29 October 2024 | Øksnehallen, Halmtorvet 11, 1700 København, Denmark

This Summit is Denmark's largest deep tech conference and exhibition, and the unique annual meeting place for researchers from the country's universities and their partners from Danish industry.

Digital technologies are transforming our society and industries at a rapid pace. Therefore, the primary mission of the this Summit is to discuss these changes, provide the audience with insights into academic research environments, and their industrial collaborations.

Together with the editorial team of Ingeniøren and the universities, we have created a program that aims to offer both insight and perspective.

However, the Summit is much more than a comprehensive speaker program. It is also a meeting place for industry and universities. It offers students and companies an opportunity to connect and discuss career opportunities. Here, Danish startup environments meet politicians and representatives from the industry.
