DTI’s mission is to promote growth by improving interaction and encourage synergy between these three areas. It has around 1,100 employees, making it one of Denmark’s most significant private institutes to supply approved technological services such as consultancy, tests, certification and training for companies and public-sector organizations.
DTI’s Centre for Robot Technology is located in Odense, where the Institute has established a close and strategic relationship with University of Southern Denmark. DTI aims to be a pioneer in Denmark and abroad for application-orientated technology and also technology and knowledge transfer between research and business, particularly for SMEs.
