On September 3, we’re bringing together decision-makers, government officials, researchers, civil society actors, and practitioners for a day focused on just that: how grand ambitions are turned into concrete results through mission-based work. The program is split between two stages. At Utopia, you’ll find art exhibitions, talks, and workshops. On the main stage, you’ll hear from Margrethe Vestager on mobilizing across cultures, Dan Honig on missions in the civil service, Nick Kimber from the UK Cabinet Office on the UK’s missteps, Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen on the role of civil society, and Tommy Ahlers on AI and the future of the public sector, among others.

Together, we’ll explore what Denmark can learn from countries like Canada, and how artificial intelligence can support major societal goals without compromising democratic values.
