Students from IT University of Copenhagen travel to four leading innovation ecosystems – virtually
Gaining Global Insights Through Virtual Learning
ITU has a strong reputation for its cutting-edge research and collaborations with industry partners in the field of information technology and computer science. However, ITU faces a challenge in staying at the forefront of developments and understanding the global playing field of digital transformation. Businesses are increasingly going online and interacting with customers and partners on a global scale, and therefore ITU must ensure its curriculum is up-to date and addresses the most pressing global issues.
Therefore, the university has collaborated with ICDK to connect with the strong tech hubs of Shanghai, Seoul, Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley. This helps the university to stay updated on the latest trends and innovations in digital transformation without having a physical presence in these innovation hotspots.A Global Masterclass in Digitalisation
In order to equip ITU students with a current understanding of international digital transformation while eliminating the need for physical travel, ICDK has established an online program, currently ongoing throughout November and December 2023, titled "Jorden rundt på fire dage" ("Around the World in Four Days").
This program spans four days, featuring 4-5 keynote speakers each day who represent diverse industries. They offer their local insights into the realm of digital transformation, delving into the impact of technologies such as (generative) AI, machine learning, and emerging platforms. As we speak, the program rotates between four countries, providing students with fresh perspectives on digital transformation from Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Seoul, and Silicon Valley. This approach furnishes ITU students with a comprehensive and cutting-edge global outlook on digital transformation, all without the need to leave Denmark.
Insights from Around the World - Without Travelling
The impact of machine learning, artificial intelligenceand other emerging technologies will not be limited to the tech industry, but will be applied across all industrial sectors. Thanks to ICDK’s global presence in leading tech hubs around the world, it is possible for ITU to gain unique access and insights into the impact of digitalisation globally. The virtual masterclass “Around the World in Four Days” is the fourth time ICDK in Silicon Valley facilitated this global class.
Think Globally - Solve Locally
By exploring and understanding digital transformation with a global partner like ICDK, educational institutions, such as ITU, as well as private companies can stay at the forefront of technological developments and capitalise on the opportunities of the digital age.
