Esbjerg can become Denmark's tech capital in the offshore, logistics, and energy sectors

How to contribute to the green transition has for years been a major item on the agenda for Danish companies. Under the concept of "sustainable digitalization," renewed energy is currently being infused into the city's many ambitious companies. An increasing number of companies are aware that digitalization can both support green ambitions and have a positive impact on the bottom line. In this way, digitalization has shifted from being a necessary evil to instead supporting companies' ambitious growth plans while providing a range of competitive advantages.

"Esbjerg, with its unique location, has a clear opportunity to become Denmark's tech capital in this area. Therefore, Trifork is also very enthusiastic about the great effort Business Esbjerg, Education Esbjerg, and Esbjerg Municipality are putting into establishing new relevant IT educations. This important work, as it is implemented, supports the absolutely necessary ecosystem that in the coming years will carry the city forward on the IT stage.This is a central development that is not only important for local companies, which to a much greater extent gain access to qualified IT skills, but also for the municipality, which will experience an increasing number of new and knowledge-intensive jobs." says Simon Brandt, Commercial Manager, Trifork Esbjerg.

Sustainable and innovative digitalization

We experience that employees have a growing interest in working on small and large projects within sustainable and innovative digitalization, which can be energy data solutions intended to reduce energy consumption in a municipality or companies wishing to optimize internal IT systems and processes to free up resources for new innovation. A very good example of how digitalization is worked with daily can be found in Semco Maritime’s Innovation Team.

"Semco Maritime has for years had a good collaboration with Trifork, both as an innovation partner on a number of workshops but also on concrete development tasks where the need for deep domain understanding is essential. The collaboration means, among other things, that some of the ideas we work on here in the innovation team can more quickly be transformed into value-creating and concrete products", says Martin Ejlskov Hansen, Innovation Lead, Semco Maritime.

Sustainability has a central role in Trifork, especially within the maritime sector. Trifork is a partner in "The Ocean Race." Here, the focus is to increase understanding of the challenges in the marine environment. This is done, among other things, through the project "Restore our Seas" in collaboration with "Elkhorn Marine Conservatory." The project aims to develop innovative solutions to help preserve and restore coral reefs.

As part of the campaign, the company's 70-foot Ocean Racer will dock at Dokhavnen in May, where a number of exciting events will also be held.
