Shortly after Easter, Intellis invited several customers for a tour of GreenLab in Skive, followed by lunch at Restaurant Ballast with the Mayor of Skive, Peder Christian Kirkegaard.
The occasion was Intellis’ participation in the Danish Collection (Danmarks Indsamlingen) once again, which included a day featuring a tour of GreenLab in Skive led by COO Thomas Helsgaun on an electric scooter. Following the tour, we were invited to lunch with Mayor Peder Christian Kirkegaard at Restaurant Ballast.
The menu featured Danish “smørrebrød”, and there was a meaningful discussion about sustainability in 2024 from the perspective of businesses and organizations. Intellis is committed to the fight for a more sustainable future, and therefore gladly invited some of our customers to join the tour of GreenLab in Skive. As innovation and sustainability are core values for Intellis, it was natural for us to support this important cause and gain insight into GreenLab’s mission.
The Danish Collection is an annual event aimed at raising funds to help the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. Charitable organizations and the Danish public join forces to make a positive difference in the fight against poverty, disease, and inequality on a global scale. This is a cause that both Skive Municipality, GreenLab, and Intellis are proud to support.
The visit to GreenLab provided participants with insights into the latest developments in sustainable technology and innovation. The tour further reinforced Intellis’ desire to be at the forefront of green technology and innovation, even more so than before the visit.
We believe the Danish Collection is a great initiative that gives us the opportunity to support and help children and young people around the world. The Sustainable Development Goals are a high priority for us in Skive Municipality, so we are glad to offer our support.
– Peder Christian Kirkegaard, sitting Mayor of Skive
“We all have a responsibility to help where it is needed the most. We can’t do otherwise. Additionally, having the opportunity to see GreenLab, which serves as a beacon for green transition and an inspiration for businesses, organizations, and society as a whole, is a huge bonus and very inspiring,” elaborates Linda Johansson, HR and Communications Manager at Intellis.
When GreenLab was asked about their involvement in the Danish Collection, there was no doubt about their commitment to making a positive difference in the world. Their motivation and dedication to supporting charitable causes were evident.
“Our participation in the Danish Collection was primarily to support a good cause, even though we, as a start-up, had not yet generated a profit at that time. We hope that the tour contributes to providing insight into our humble ambition to create a power shift and accelerate the green transition,” concludes Thomas Helsgaun, COO of GreenLab.
Their participation in the collection reflects their deep commitment to being a positive force for change and their desire to be part of the solution to global problems. This commitment and desire are values we share at Intellis.
Located in Skive, GreenLab is more than just a green energy park. It’s a full-scale testing ground for the future of sustainable energy. Companies, researchers and startups work side by side to turn bold ideas into real-world solutions. From producing and storing renewable energy to distributing it smartly across sectors, GreenLab offers a rare chance to trial new technologies in a live setting.
Its strength lies in sector coupling, circular economy principles and Power-to-X innovation. Businesses can scale up their solutions in an environment built for experimentation and data-driven optimisation. Industrial symbiosis isn’t just theory here, it’s daily practice.
GreenLab brings public and private players together to design energy systems that are smarter, cleaner and built to last.
Digitalisation has unlocked countless opportunities from cross border friendships and global inspiration to endless entertainment and creative learning. Yet, there’s a darker side too, where risks and violations can occur.
In 2024, ensuring children’s digital safety requires thoughtful navigation and careful steps, because it is normal for kids and teenagers to spend much of their daily lives online, socialising on platforms, exploring games, and finding new ways to learn. It’s a vibrant digital universe full of possibility, but one that also requires thoughtful navigation and careful steps.
Children have the right to a safe digital social life. It starts with open, trusting conversations.
– Lene Stavngaard, Head of Protection Against Digital Violations, Save the Children
Save the Children calls this awareness Digital Education, giving it equal importance to traditional learning.
Save the Children actively champions a safer online world, providing essential support for those who’ve experienced digital violations or abuse. With cases like recent reports of ‘sextortion’ grabbing headlines, it’s understandable why many parents and professionals feel increasingly uncertain about the online environment.
Instead of pulling back, approach screens and your kids with curiosity, not criticism. Young people genuinely want to do things right.
– Sofus Bynge, Special Consultant, Astralis
This dynamic is at the heart of the latest episode. Both Lene and Sofus see firsthand the disconnect many parents experience with their children’s digital lives, often stemming from limited understanding or a lack of genuine curiosity. Sofus urges parents to get just as involved online as they would offline, bridging that gap to better support and protect young people.
Listen in as Lene and Sofus offer valuable perspectives and practical advice on fostering healthy digital habits and creating safe online spaces for the next generation.
About Save the Children and Astralis
Save the Children actively works to ensure that children and young people have a safe and secure digital environment. Their mission includes supporting victims of digital violations and educating communities about online safety.
Astralis, a leading esports organisation, advocates for positive gaming cultures and digital well-being, encouraging parents to engage positively with their children’s online worlds to bridge gaps in understanding and awareness.
In a time where sustainability and environmental responsibility are gaining importance, it is increasingly crucial for businesses to take responsibility and contribute to the green transition. At Intellis, we are fully aware of this responsibility.
Sustainability is not just a trend; it is a necessity. Through our innovative approaches, we aim to make it easier for our customers to integrate sustainability into their organizations.
– Stig Larsen, CEO, Intellis
That’s why, at Intellis, we have chosen a proactive approach by making it easy and straightforward for organizations to prioritize sustainable choices in their procurement processes.
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
We focus on promoting sustainable and green purchasing behavior by creating the right conditions for customers to easily make responsible choices for our planet. The development of intuitive, socially beneficial, and sustainable solutions helps customers in their daily operations and sets new standards by automating manual processes with Machine Learning and AI.
This includes, among other things, ensuring that all contracts undergo a sustainability assessment based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as a range of other social and environmental criteria. We believe it is crucial to incorporate these parameters to ensure a holistic approach to sustainability.
The option for remote work and holding as many meetings digitally as possible is a regular part of everyday life at the office in Ørestaden. Additionally, we focus on how optimal data storage and correct technology choices can impact the organization’s overall environmental footprint, as well as how we can best support our customers in achieving a more sustainable profile.
“Our commitment to creating a sustainable future stems from a growing recognition that businesses must take responsibility and actively contribute to improving the state of the planet. Therefore, we certainly hope that other companies will follow suit, so together we can create a wave of positive change in sustainability and environmental protection,” concludes Søren Iversen.
Scaling Customer Care to Deliver Faster, Smarter, and More Personal Support.
First and foremost, it is crucial to have a well-trained and competent customer service team. This includes recruiting employees with strong communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and empathy. As more customers are onboarded onto our e-Procurement solution, Tellis, we aim to further strengthen the department with additional resources. This means that we will have more staff available to handle customer needs and ensure an even better experience for our customers. We recognize the importance of providing excellent customer support and want to ensure that all inquiries are handled quickly and efficiently. With the additional resources, we can increase our capacity to answer calls, respond to emails and support cases, and quickly engage in online chat with our customers. Our goal is always to meet your needs in the best possible way, and we look forward to continuing to deliver a top-notch service experience.
Additional resources allow us to upgrade our current service to an even higher level. They also enable us to reach out further to our customers on their preferred platforms and provide quick and effective responses to their questions or issues. Our goal is always to be responsive to our customers’ needs and deliver a first-class service experience, regardless of the communication channel chosen. We have significant plans for the Customer Care department. In 2024, our customers will be offered webinars, online presentations of service packs, and access to Intellis Learning Universe. More details about all new initiatives and introductions to new team members will be available in January 2024.
Exploring the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and leadership with Jeppe Bruus and Kevin Magnussen
Sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions are more critical than ever, shaping the way businesses and industries will survive and thrive. In this episode of Intellis Talks Tech, we bring together Denmark’s Minister for Taxation, Jeppe Bruus, and Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen for a compelling conversation about sustainability, technology, and innovation.
Formula 1 has always been pioneering, especially with technology. Today, it’s not just about safety features like ABS and traction control, but also about maximizing the efficiency of hybrid engines. The faster we can recharge a battery through braking or energy recovery, the faster we go. This creates a positive cycle where we’re continually chasing greater efficiency.
– Kevin Magnussen, Racing driver & Board member at Intellis
Kevin Magnussen highlights Formula 1’s progressive steps towards sustainability, emphasizing upcoming changes in hybrid engine technology slated for 2026, when engines will equally balance electric power and traditional fuel. He also discusses Formula 1’s pioneering role in automotive safety and efficiency, notably through developments such as traction control, ABS, and ESP.
Strategic taxation and smart legislation are essential tools to guide society towards sustainable practices. Small policy changes can lead to significant environmental impacts.
– Jeppe Bruus, Minister for Taxation, Denmark
Minister Jeppe Bruus provides a unique political viewpoint, discussing how strategic policy-making, taxation, and legislation can significantly impact sustainable practices. He draws compelling comparisons between the competitive worlds of politics and motorsport, underscoring the narrow margins for success and the critical importance of strategic foresight and decision-making.
About Jeppe Bruus
Jeppe Bruus is Denmark’s Minister for Taxation and a dedicated advocate for sustainability and digital innovation within government operations. Known for his forward-thinking approach to policy-making, Jeppe has been instrumental in implementing strategic taxation policies aimed at fostering sustainable business practices and environmental responsibility across Denmark. His work emphasizes the intersection of innovation, legislation, and sustainable development to secure a greener future.
On Wednesday 6 September, we hosted our very first user conference for customers, partners and stakeholders. The day was filled with inspiring talks, light-hearted moments, shared experiences and practical insights. Topics included AI, contract management, sustainable e-commerce, digital transformation and collaboration across sectors.
According to The American Lawyer, it took a lawyer an average of 92 minutes to review a contract, while AI completed the same task in just 26 seconds. The lawyer identified 85% of the contract’s risks, compared to AI’s 94%.
– Pernille Stege Geil, Head of Transformation at Devoteam
Pernille focuses on helping organisations mature and optimise their contract management to support compliance and financial health. Devoteam continues to challenge boundaries and drive innovation in this area.
AI can act as a tool, a legal assistant that supports your work efficiently. Goldman Sachs has estimated that 44 percent of legal tasks in contract management can be automated.
“The user conference is here so we can inspire our customers, grow together and keep evolving Tellis,” said Søren Iversen, CEO of Intellis.
Three key takeaways from Pernille Stege Geil:
Successful use of AI depends on leadership focus and accountability.
With known variables, AI can accurately predict unknown ones.
AI leads to better contract handling and outcomes.
Fredensborg Municipality shared their work with strategic contract management and procurement. Jennifer Brethvad and Mette Vinther Korsgaard explained how their approach supports business operations across departments. Contract management helps them structure supplier relationships clearly and effectively, so efforts can focus on the contracts that create the most value.
Three takeaways from Fredensborg Municipality:
Procurement should result in strong, lasting and sustainable contracts.
Contract management increases the value extracted from every agreement.
Departments are encouraged to rethink and improve their solutions.
Sustainability plays a large role in procurement teams across municipalities. That is why Thomas Schultz, CEO and Co-founder of Konsido, joined the programme. His daily work involves analysing purchasing behaviour and helping public organisations use this knowledge to free up resources.
Two takeaways from Konsido:
Contract management boosts the value of signed agreements.
Better use of existing contracts through integration with Tellis.
Rikke Hougaard Zeberg, Director of the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure, contributed with a political perspective on digitalisation and the green transition. She highlighted the role of cooperation between public institutions and private companies.
Four takeaways from Rikke Hougaard Zeberg:
New technology and data are essential for digital and green progress.
Denmark is ahead of many, but risks falling behind.
Continued strategic focus and stronger digital infrastructure are crucial.
Public and private collaboration is key to solving major challenges.
For digital transformation to succeed, we need the right systems, routines and skills across both authorities and businesses. Cybercrime remains a serious and growing threat.
– Rikke Hougaard Zeberg, Director of DI Digital
A sincere thank you to all the speakers from Devoteam, Konsido, the Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure, SKI, Fredensborg Municipality, Varde Municipality, Odense Municipality, Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, Vejen Municipality, Kevin Magnussen and Maria Sloth from GAIA Academy and museum.

In the third episode of Intellis Talks Tech, Søren and Stig have invited Anders&Anders, along with Kevin Magnussen, for an honest and personal conversation about stress, work pressure, and balancing workflow with personal life. We get up close with the elite athlete Kevin Magnussen and two personalities who make a living entertaining others.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the lives of people working in the tech industry to understand how pressure and stress can unexpectedly affect even the best. We discuss how the responsibility towards family life and relationships can pave the way to success but also bring about extraordinary pressure.
I think it’s important, because anyone can be affected by it [stress]. But I believe it’s about being bombarded from all sides with expectations – there’s never a safe space. When things went wrong for me, I didn’t have a safe space either.
– Anders Lund Madsen, Journalist & Author
The podcast was recorded at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen was racing. Intellis A/S is a personal sponsor of Kevin Magnussen and is therefore present on the sidelines at selected races during the 2023 season. This time, Søren and Stig invited Anders Breinholt and Anders Lund Madsen to join them amidst the roar of engines, the KM20 garage, and the adrenaline-pumping atmosphere. It was “an experience of a lifetime,” as Anders Breinholt aptly described it on the Anders&Anders podcast and Intellis Talks Tech.
It could be compared to a hemorrhage, where I don’t physically collapse and lie on the floor, but all the blood seems to drain from my body.
– Anders Breinholt, Journalist, Radio- and tv-host
The podcast is for those who are interested in the tech industry, motorsport, and personal development, it offers perspectives on life and work, featuring Anders Breinholt, Anders Lund Madsen, and Kevin Magnussen sharing personal experiences with pressure, stress, workflow, and personal life. Additionally, Intellis’ own leadership discusses how work pressure can impact one’s expectations and hopes for their life’s work.

Exploring new ways to strengthen sustainability, adaptability and collaboration in a changing procurement landscape.
Public procurement is facing an entirely new level of challenges. At the same time, today’s many considerations must be balanced when making purchases on behalf of the public sector. It’s a complex environment to navigate, especially when we’re talking about an annual spend of 350 billion DKK.
Many of us experience this complexity first-hand, whether we’re contracting authorities or suppliers, particularly when it comes to procurement agreements. That’s why the theme of IKA Annual Conference 2023 focuses on sustainability, flexibility, and behaviour as key areas where we can drive progress.
We’re looking forward to taking part in the IKA Annual Conference again this year. It’s a great opportunity to meet both existing and potential new customers, and to be inspired, gain fresh insights, and share knowledge. You’ll find us at our stand right in the middle of the networking area – we’re at stand number 11.
