Digitaliseringsministeriet

What Digitaliseringsministeriet does

Digitaliseringsministeriet (Ministry of Digital Affairs) is the Danish government ministry responsible for coordinating the country's digital transformation across the state, municipalities, and regions. Established in December 2022 and reorganized in 2024, the ministry sets national digital policy, negotiates binding political agreements with public sector partners, and oversees two agencies: Digitaliseringsstyrelsen (Agency for Digital Government) and Danmarks Statistik (Statistics Denmark). Its core portfolio includes the Digital Taskforce for Kunstig Intelligens (driving AI adoption across the public sector), the Center for Social Media, Tech and Democracy (research on technology impacts on society), the Fællesoffentlig Digitaliseringsstrategi (Joint Public Sector Digitization Strategy covering 2026-2029), the European Digital Identity Wallet initiative, and a whistleblower reporting scheme.

The ministry operates as a policy and coordination body rather than a technology vendor, with its underlying technology stack consisting of a Go Basic CMS platform built to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and integrated with national digital infrastructure platforms including e-Boks, Borger.dk, Mit.dk, and Virk.dk for secure citizen and business communications. The ministry funds its operations through the Danish state budget, provides all services free of charge to citizens and businesses, and generates no commercial revenue. Its stakeholders are Danish citizens, businesses, and public sector institutions (municipalities and regions), with its mandate expressing a goal of making Denmark world-leading in public sector AI adoption. Per a royal resolution dated 3 June 2026, the ministry is scheduled to be dissolved with its functions transferred to the Forsknings-, Uddannelses- og Digitaliseringsministeriet (Ministry of Research, Education and Digitalisation).
