The conference had two major themes – the digitalisation potential in the public sector and digital growth with two business success cases. Thomas Larsen, the political commentator from Berlingske Tidende, moderated a debate between Bertel Haarder MF (Minister of Health), Carl Holst (Regional Chairman for Region South Denmark) and Tove Larsen (Lord Mayor, Aabenraa municipality). The panel discussion highlighted some of the initiatives that are expected to generate real savings and effective welfare improvements.

The second panel discussion was moderated by Niels Lunde (Business Commentator at Politiken) after presentations from Anders Eldrup (CEO, DONG Energy) and Mogens Bransholm (CEO, Conscia). Both presentations highlighted the need for really innovative business transformation changes that will meet the new challenges of a global market.
