The Challenges 

----

Challenge 1 

The Danish Business Authority would like to investigate how Danish companies can achieve greater understanding and awareness of how to work ethically with data. How can new technology help to create better data ethics, and how might this field add commercial value to Danish companies?

Challenge 2 

The Danish Business Authority wishes to investigate how new technology can support companies to increase their use of electronic invoicing. Examples of solutions could be found in validation of invoices (bots, shematron, etc.), security/cyber (many fake invoices, security matters, etc), standards/legislation (tech to convert and update to be compliant to the latest standard/legislation).

Challenge 3 

The Danish Safety Technology Authority would like to investigate if new technologies can help create a fast and precise overview of piping installations in buildings. This can help uncover illegal and dangerous installations, which may not be visible. One example could be a solution to assist the controls of electrical installations in private homes to uncover fire hazards.

Challenge 4 

The Danish Safety Technology Authority would like to investigate if new technologies such as laser-scans, 3D technology, image technology etc. can provide new solutions for the production and presentation of housing floor plans to create a clearer overview of a house.

Challenge 5 

The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority would like to investigate how new technology and digitalisation can make the economic regulation of the water and waste water sector more efficient, with new data driven opportunities for customers, water companies as well as the wider business community.
