Denmark In New York

How can we navigate in the rapidly evolving ecosystem of Artificial Intelligence? 🤖 This week, our Investment Manager, Astrid Kvist Jensen, dove deep into the advancements in AI at The Generative AI Summit in Austin, TX. The summit brought together a selection of industry-leading engineers, developers, and tech experts to exchange knowledge and perspectives on the cutting-edge innovations in AI technology 🌐 We checked in with Astrid to get her key takeaways from the summit 👇 1️⃣ Strengths over weaknesses – Jay Boisseau, founder of Austin AI Alliance, emphasized the importance of identifying both the strengths and weaknesses of AI. However, the real takeaway? Don’t let AI’s risk limitations hold you back from exploring its potential. 2️⃣ Buzzwords vs. real impact – AI, Gen AI, RAG, LLMs, Agents… the list keeps growing. But the message is clear: focus on solving real problems, not just implementing AI for the sake of it. Scope first, then align expectations with what AI can truly deliver. 3️⃣ Humanizing technology – AI touches every industry, but can it be humanized? Butch Ewing, founder of Mortuary AI, posed this thought-provoking question. He reminded us that 3.09M Americans will pass away in 2025—and ultimately, 100% of us will. A stark yet necessary reminder of AI’s role in deeply human experiences. Invest in Denmark | AI Accelerator Institute #GenAI #ArtificialIntelligence

It has been some insightful days filled with constructive conversations.   Today, we are wrapping up an inspiring trip to Minnesota with a delegation of Danish energy companies.    Alongside our advisors, Thomas and Sif, the delegates have experienced local developments and projects within energy, green ammonia, and green steel.   Last night, the group was joined Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, at a reception to engage in meaningful discussions.   The group also visited Mortenson EPC’s headquarters and toured Accelera by Cummins' electrolyzer manufacturing line. They also met with Heartland Hydrogen Hub and Delta Air Lines' sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) Hub in Minneapolis.   Finally, the group discussed bioenergy with local stakeholders, focusing on how Minnesota’s agricultural strengths can play a vital role in creating resilient energy systems and how Danish expertise can contribute to scaling these solutions.    The key takeaway from the trip is the significant potential for knowledge sharing and partnership.   We are excited to continue the dialogue, tapping into the immense opportunities that cross-Atlantic partnerships can offer.   Thank you to everyone involved in the delegation! 👏 #hydrogen #energy #DenmarkinUSA #WorkingforDenmark

Speed dating: Greenland and Denmark on Capitol Hill 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇺🇸 Another important week of engagement in Washington D.C. Together with my Greenlandic colleague, Kenneth Høegh, we have been meeting with key members of Congress to advance our shared priorities across the Atlantic. Through our discussions with Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Roger Wicker, Senator Gary Peters, Representative Andrew Ogles, Representative Bruce Westerman, and Representative Michael Rulli we’re fostering deeper collaboration in areas like Greenland, Arctic security cooperation and economic growth. Together, the Kingdom of Denmark and the U.S. are working for a future built on shared interests, values and mutual respect. Important to underline that “Your security is our security’! Our main messages to members of Congress have been: ♦️ We are close allies and should continue to work together as such. US security is also Greenland’s and Denmark’s security. ♦️ The US military has been in Greenland since World War 2. We all benefit from that, and we welcome a discussion on an even stronger footprint. ♦️ Greenland is part of NATO, and Greenland will continue to be part of NATO. ♦️ The Kingdom of Denmark and the US will work together to ensure security in the Arctic. ♦️ Denmark is determined to invest further in security in the Arctic in close cooperation with Greenland. ♦️ Greenland is open for business and welcome closer cooperation on trade and investment, including critical minerals. We are strong partners. We thank you for your time.
