North Denmark Region (Region Nordjylland), which oversees healthcare, regional development, and specialized social services in the northern part of Denmark, is a frontrunner in the use of artificial intelligence. The region is now strengthening its position through a partnership with the Danish AI platform GRACE from 2021.AI, which will serve as the foundation for the secure and responsible development, operation, and monitoring of the region’s AI solutions. With this platform, the aim is to realize its ambitious goals in the field.
The choice to deploy the AI platform on the region’s own IT infrastructure marks an important step toward enabling secure AI usage while maintaining full GDPR compliance. A local IT setup with a locally hosted AI platform ensures that the region’s critical data remains entirely under its own control. Security fosters trust and helps turn the region’s ambitions into reality in a safe and sustainable way.
“To execute our AI ambitions securely and responsibly, we needed a platform that provides a responsible foundation—one that allows us to scale our AI projects quickly and efficiently and create real value with AI,” says Klaus Larsen, CIO of North Denmark Region (Region Nordjylland).
Klaus Larsen, who has also been personally appointed as an expert in the national Public Sector AI Taskforce, sees this strategic investment as a crucial step in maintaining North Denmark Region’s leadership in practical and responsible AI implementation across the Nordics.
North Denmark Region has already implemented its first AI models and projects with more than 400 users. The ambition is to roll out a wide range of new AI initiatives across various departments in 2025.
The platform is designed to handle the full AI lifecycle securely and responsibly—from development to operations. It supports all types of AI, including large language models (LLMs), while giving organizations the ability to centralize governance, documentation, and monitoring of all AI activities.
“It’s fantastic to support the Danish public sector with practical AI implementation. Security, responsibility, and a strong technological foundation are essential to scaling AI from early pilots to hundreds of models in production. The agreement with North Denmark Region is a major milestone for us,” says Mikael Munck, CEO and Founder of 2021.AI.
