Digital Tech Summit graphic

Join us at this year's Digital Tech Summit where you can experience the latest research and the strongest solutions from business and industry partners and network with the conference's other participants, who are leaders, engineers, product managers, product developers, business developers and not least the talents of the future - the students at universities.

About Digital Tech Summit

Digital technologies are rapidly transforming our societies and industries. Therefore, the Digital Tech Summit's main task is to discuss these, give the audience insight into the academic research environments and their industrial collaborations. Together with Ingeniøren's editorial team and the universities, we have put together a program that tries to provide both insight and perspective.

The Digital Tech Summit is so much more than a packed speaker program - it's also the meeting place for industry and universities. It is an opportunity for students and companies to find each other in conversation about career opportunities. This is where the Danish startup community, politicians and industry representatives meet.

Meet leading researchers from the University of Copenhagen

A number of leading researchers from the University of Copenhagen will address today's major digital themes on the main stage with presentations and debates, which will be elaborated on the smaller stages and at our university stand.
