Abstract

In this chapter we analyse the green transition of the Danish national system of innovation with a focus on green patents, green skills and green innovations. We find that green patenting, green skills and green innovations are inter-connected in the green transition. The Danish technological profile has shown an increase in green patents, and green innovation now happens in all parts of Denmark. We find that the education and training system must be adapted if Danish firms are to lead in the green transition. The findings point to challenges, requirements and opportunities created by the transition to a greener economy.
