100 Years of Innovation

The Danish Technological Institute was founded by Guner Gregersen as an independent institution in 1906 and is one of the oldest of its type in the world. The far-sighted Mr Gregersen was the President of the Institute for 44 years until his death in 1950. The Institute now has almost 850 employees, making it one of the world’s largest private institutes to supply approved technological services such as consultancy, tests, certification and training for companies and public sector organisations

The Institute employs experts in hundreds of different fields at 40 centres organised under the auspices of the 6 organisational units that define the main parameters for their work :

  • Building Technology
  • Industry and Energy
  • Informatics
  • Materials
  • Productivity and Logistics
  • Industrial Development

The Institute adopts an interdisciplinary approach to innovation and to the task of improving the ability of small and medium-sized companies to exploit new technologies and management tools.
