Industrial Digitalization in the Nordics 2020
A survey by AFRY's Industrial Digitalization Advisory Services

The goal of this unique survey is to publish a report about the status and vision of digitalization for organizations in more than 20 different industries in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden). The report will be published in mid 2020.

The survey only takes a few minutes. The questions on page two are optional. Participation is free and the report will be completely anonymous.

As a thank you for contributing, we will send you the report at no cost. We will also pick three participants that we will offer a free half-day workshop together with our strategic advisors within Digital Transformation.
