The Engineer the Future Alliance

Together we create Action for a Change

Engineer the Future is Denmark's technology alliance consisting of approximately 50 companies, educational institutions and interest groups. Since 2014, we have developed and deployed methods and initiatives that demonstrably increase children and young people's professional learning, motivation for science, and young people's desire to pursue an education in engineering, IT and science. 

• We foster technological and scientific literacy in children and young people
• We improve the competences of the next generation
• We work to secure the workforce of the future

Engineer the Future creates change and value through a number of targeted initiatives:

• Development of problem-based teaching programs (‘Engineering’) that inspire thousands of students across the country every year.
• Nationwide professional development of teachers in engineering in primary and secondary schools.
• Role models that inspire children and young people with original stories from technology-based companies from the partner circle.
• Study choice campaigns developed in collaboration with the engineering educational universities and university colleges and the University of Copenhagen.

As an alliance, we can do much more than each of us individually, both in terms of volume and impact. As a partner, you help develop a competent workforce capable of creating the solutions of the future. At the same time, you play a role here and now for the benefit of children and young people and your own company. A selection of our achievements:

• Every year, more than 350.000 young people see our study choice campaign.
• 24% are more likely to take an education in engineering, IT or science after seeing our campaign.
• More than 25% of all science teachers in primary schools have received professional training in our programs and our teaching method 'Engineering' has reached more than 260.000 students throughout the country.
• Students who have worked with engineering develop their creativity and innovation skills; they are more motivated and become better at collaborating
