Through several initiatives, Denmark is supporting the IoT activities and actively addressing the current challenges with digital transition and shared digital standards, while also discussing questions on pilots, public data, architecture and more.

National IoT Standardisation

The Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial affairs requested Danish Standards to produce a roadmap to be used by Danish companies in their digital transition. The document "Roadmap on standards for Internet of Things (IoT)" explains the needs and challenges of Danish companies, as well as the need for standardisation, or information regarding existing standardisation, from an industry perspective.

Three IoT engagement themes were the focus of Danish Standards. These themes are expected to play a key role in creating future profits and increased export:

  • Automation and robotics
  • Smart farming/agriculture
  • Smart city

As part of the mapping, several challenges and recommendations were noted within three main areas. Solutions to these challenges must be found in order for Danish companies to fully profit from the use of IoT-solutions. The areas are:

  • Interoperability and reference architectures.
  • Information security and privacy.
  • Small and medium-sized enterprises' challenges.

A primary recommendation by Danish Standards is to actively participate in the work surrounding IoT standardisation in ISO/IEC with a focus on IoT, Smart city and information security. (ISO/IEC JTC1, Joint Technical Committee Information Technology WG 10 IoT, WG 11 Smart City and SC 27 IT Security Technology).
