Green transition, Life Science, and Technology: Innovation Centre Denmark aims to lift Denmark’s innovation power and build a greener, healthier, and smarter future.

For the second consecutive year, TechSavvy.Media and Innovation Centre Denmark have partnered to provide the Danish innovation ecosystem with exclusive insights into some of the world’s leading tech trends from Innovation Centre Denmark’s seven innovation hotspots.

“Being at the forefront of tomorrow’s trends is always crucial to innovators, and the Global Tech Trends reports are a great way to gain those new insights. I hope that many startups, businesses and innovators will find it useful and interesting,” says Ricky Thomsen, CEO and Partner at TechSavvy.

The Global Tech Trends is a collection of seven short reports highlighting some of the most significant emerging tech trends from Bangalore, Boston, Munich, Tel Aviv, Seoul, Shanghai, and Silicon Valley.

Meet Innovation Centre Denmark at TechBBQ Booth 3 and connect with innovation advisers from around the world.

Each report offers an introduction, an evaluation of the potential impact, and a brief analysis of how the local innovation ecosystem aligns with Danish stakeholders’ interests.

“We are thrilled that ICDK (Innovation Centre Denmark, ed.) has once again chosen TechSavvy.Media as a partner this year. The collaboration is a perfect synergy, combining the innovation centres’ unique insights and expertise in both Danish and global innovation ecosystems with TechSavvy’s position as Denmark’s leading startup and tech media,” says Ricky Thomsen.

During the fall of 2024, the Global Tech Trends podcast series will dive even deeper and cover the most intriguing aspects of the seven Global Tech Trends. Additionally, the innovation centres from Silicon Valley and Boston will present their Global Tech Trends in two “Garden Sessions” at this year’s TechBBQ.

Innovation Centre Denmark is a partnership between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science; thereby combining the Foreign Service’s diplomatic setup and insight into geopolitical developments with a deep knowledge about Danish science and innovation.

Boston: AI in Health

Across the globe, health systems are under pressure from shifting demographics, a growing burden of chronic diseases, as well as staff burnout and shortages. Hospital leaders, investors, and governments are looking for solutions based on artificial intelligence to address staff shortages, improve access, and drive better health outcomes.

Munich: Space technology

With the launch of the Ariane 6 rocket, Europe is setting the tone for more innovation and independence in the aerospace sector. Germany, in particular, has contributed to this success with a wide range of innovative technology. With a focus on advancing private sector initiatives in the areas of environmental protection, defence and digitalisation, Germany will expand its position for international cooperation and innovation in the near future.

Silicon Valley: Longevity

Health tech trends center on extending health span. Not only through combating diseases but by viewing the progression of old age as potentially curable. This shift is notable in Silicon Valley, where groundbreaking technologies and treatment systems are beginning to reshape the healthcare landscape.

Seoul: Quantum Communication

As part of the digital transformation, the increased frequency of cyberattacks and mega-hacks are pushing governments and businesses to look for new ways to ensure more secure ways of transmitting information. This is also evident in South Korea, which is at the forefront of quantum communication due to the country’s long history as an ICT nation.

Tel Aviv: Applied Artificial Intelligence (AGI)

Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). From automation to autonomy, tech evolves. GitHub Co-pilot, Google Gemini, and ChatGPT pioneer today’s innovation, while Nvidia’s recent acquisitions of Israeli startup Deci and Run:AI point to AI’s Future Journey.

Bangalore: Biosolutions

Recent advancements in biosolutions are transforming the global life sciences sector, driving a new era of innovation and sustainability. India has now emerged as a serious key global player in the areas of biopharmaceuticals, bioagriculture, advanced fermentation technologies and bioservices.

Shanghai: Smart Wearables

With the development of smart wearable devices, more and more patients can monitor and manage their health conditions and intervene in possible health problems at an early stage by wearing such products. A survey in China showed that more than 60% of people aged 55 and above wear wearable devices every day. This means that smart wearable devices may play an important role in the elderly care industry.
