In a global world the cost of producing in Denmark are among the highest in the world, which is why new solutions are essential to maintain a competitive position in a globalized world. Not only innovative products, but also producing the products in a smarter and more efficient way should be among the milestones.

The platform enables development and production of products and solutions based on a high level of knowledge generating a sustainable business. Intelligent products will further facili-tate future production in Denmark.

Therefore it is important that the business is not - as traditionally - based on the individual com-ponents typically produced outside of Denmark, but from the beginning aimed at higher levels in the value chain, as illustrated in the figure below.

The platform bridges the fundamental technologies and final system solutions through innovative products which in the end will enable a stronger global market position. In parallel, as indicated in the figure, activities are go-ing on in research and development of reliable power electronics where a new centre is being established (CORPE).
