Join us on 21 October from 9:30 to 10:30am CET for our second virtual breakfast on digital-ready policy-making! This interactive one-hour workshop animated by Kristoffer Nilaus Olsen, special advisor of the Denmark’s Agency for Digitisation will present the Agency’s approach to build digital-ready legislation.

Digital-ready legislation ensures an easier workload for public employees and a more effective, digital service for citizens and corporations. Legislation must be plain and clear in order to lay the foundation for a truly systematic de-bureaucratization of the Danish public sector. The Danish Agency for Digitisation’s approach is built around a number of key principles to ensure digital-ready legislation.
