New inspiration and new knowledge
Does your business, organisation or workforce need a quick update on computer science trends and tools? Then DTU offers a number of ways to gain access to the latest knowledge and ensure that you can use it to develop your business, your relationships and your products.
We recommend a combination of different offers from DTU to ensure that new knowledge also drives business development. The collaboration opportunities in this category do not weigh heavily on your organisation’s finances or its time, so most people will be able to combine e.g. short continuing education courses for selected employees with networking activities.




Examples of cooperation opportunities
1. Join the DTU High Tech Summit and keep up with the most important technological trends. Join us in debating our digital future and promote networking or matchmaking with exhibitors from Danish businesses, top researchers, students, startups, developers and investors.
2. Supplement new knowledge of current trends with technical insight. Take a short continuing education course, e.g. in artificial intelligence, machine learning or deep learning.

I see the High Tech Summit at DTU as one of the most important technology conferences in Denmark. IBM has exhibited and been active at the High Tech Summit since its inception in 2017. We meet students, engage in networking with partners and companies and especially with current and new partners from DTU. We are professionally enriched and find the High Tech Summit a highly relevant and effective environment for nurturing and expanding our professional and commercial network.

If you have a more longterm need for development in your company or organisation, and if you have a wider desire to benefit from collaboration with DTU in the areas of computer/data science or mathematics, then we recommend a longer programme, which requires greater engagement from your organisation but also delivers more farreaching results.
A larger commitment also gives you the opportunity to collaborate with DTU Data Analysis on big data solutions or new software and to connect a Bachelor of Engineering trainee or business student to the project.

2. Open the task of integrating your new knowledge into the operation and development of your organisation to student innovation: e.g. submit a challenge to Open Innovation X (OIX) and have a Bachelor of Engineering in their final internship focus on the same challenge.
3. Get tailored continuing education for key employees, ensuring that the organisation can continue to work with IoT and Big Data in organisational development even after your involvement with DTU has ended.

In collaboration with researchers from DTU Data Analysis, EasyPark has been able to carry out a comprehensive research and data analysis project on parking behaviour and patterns in trafficated urban areas. This has led to the development of a number of innovative services to benefit drivers and cities. With the revolutionary navigation service Find & Park within the EasyPark parking app, the driver’s search time for e.g. free parking, is reduced by up to 50%. “This way, drivers save valuable time, avoid stress and at the same time reduce traffic and car pollution in cities, making them both greener and easier for everyone to get around.”
Maurus Haefliger, Product Owner and Business Developer at EasyPark Group

Research cooperation with DTU is a way of generating new knowledge, gaining competitive advantage and creating unique results, which can either provide answers to problems no one has solved yet or bring new development and business opportunities.
Research cooperation with DTU exists in several different forms: ‘Required research’, where DTU carries out a specific research assignment from an organisation or company; ‘Joint research’, where you provide financing and facilities together with DTU; or an Industrial PhD, where the student is enrolled at DTU while also employed by the company.




1. Cooperation with DTU on an Industrial PhD in computer/data science or mathematics. A three year programme which enables the company to focus on an area of business critical development.

2. Provide cases or data for DTU’s research in the same field as the Industrial PhD.
3. Get tailored continuing education which ensures that the new knowledge you gained from the two options above is operationalised and drives progress in your business or organisation.







Research cooperation
Co-financing of a PhD student
Companies that want to investigate a specific problem have the opportunity to partially finance a PhD project at DTU.
Industrial PhD

Joint research projects

Widex EVOKE is a hearing aid and associated app developed in collaboration with Industrial PhD Jens Brehm Bagger Nielsen from DTU Compute.
Widex EVOKE uses artificial intelligence to learn the user’s preferences, so the hearing aid is automatically adjusted to the user’s needs.
In the future, the hearing aid will be able to learn from anonymous input from users worldwide.
Evoke is the world’s first hearing aid with artificial intelligence and it is nothing less than a game changer.
