Denmark's news headlines on this stormy Wednesday include Denmark and Japan teaming up to build floating wind turbines, beware of scam festival tickets on social media, Denmark's new cyberchatbot for reliable information, Novo Nordisk's share drop, and more!
Floating Wind Turbines
Denmark and Japan are teaming up to knock Mother Nature's socks off and revolutionize the offshore wind industry! The partnership, announced in Tokyo, is set to create floating wind turbines that could be a game-changer for the global energy market. This badass breakthrough, brokered by Danish climate tech extraordinaire, Henrik Stiesdal, aims to significantly increase the potential for offshore wind energy tenfold!
Existing technology keeps us grounded, only allowing wind turbines to be installed in shallow waters up to 60 to 70 meters deep. But with floating offshore wind turbines, we'll finally be shaking things up, as the turbines float and generates electricity in deeper waters, tapping into untapped offshore wind resources!
Scam Festival Tickets
The summer festival scene is upon us in Denmark, and with it come the shysters, scammers, and deceitful doggos looking to pocket your hard-earned cash. Police are reminding us to stay frosty and aware of fake festival tickets being peddled on social media by these lowlife con artists who are thirsty for some innocent folks to fall for their tricks. So, don't be a mark and avoid buying tickets from private sellers, especially in the lead-up to the festival season.
Danish Cyberchatbot
Get ready to educate yourself, Danish style! Denmark's national encyclopedia, Lex, is developing a cybersavvy chatbot to make quality-assured knowledge from Danish researchers and experts more accessible to the public. This Danish-made bot will provide accurate answers that are free from bias and will enable users to interact with content from the national encyclopedia, making information more accessible to all!
Novo Nordisk
Shares in Novo Nordisk, maker of diabetes and weight-loss treatment Ozempic and Wegovy, took a nosedive last week following the success of Eli Lilly's type 2 diabetes and obesity treatment orforglipron. If you've heard this name and are wondering, "What the hell is orforglipron?", then this badass new drug could be Denmark's next big thing! More on this story here.
