New CEO at Dansk AM Hub
Dansk AM Hub has appointed 37-year-old Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen as CEO.
Frank comes from KRING Innovation, where, as a Partner, he has been responsible for developing new business models based on innovative technology, including Additive Manufacturing (AM).
For 13 years, Frank has worked with innovation, technology and strategy for both Danish and international companies and public authorities. He has done so through positions at consulting firms such as PA Consulting Group and Deloitte Consulting, as well as three years in Brussels, where Frank developed and led innovation projects funded by the European Commission. Over the past two years, Frank has developed and been responsible for Dansk AM Hub’s programme, AM-generator, through which more than 40 Danish SMEs have had new business models developed and designed based on AM.
Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen replaces Mads Kjøller Damkjær, who, after two years at Dansk AM Hub, will become Managing Director at Designit Denmark.
“With Mads at the helm, Dansk AM Hub has got off to a very good start. We can see that the use of 3D printing in Denmark is increasing, and through its active company programmes, Dansk AM Hub has helped many Danish companies get started with the technology or develop business models around the technology, while Danish stakeholders have been brought together in an ecosystem around the technology,” says Tue Mantoni, Chairman of the Board of Dansk AM Hub, who also welcomes Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen.
“We have had a very good process in finding the new CEO of Dansk AM Hub. There has been an incredibly strong and positive interest in leading Dansk AM Hub—not only in the short term, but also in terms of where Dansk AM Hub should focus in the future. With the appointment of Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, we have gained a CEO who is visionary and ambitious, with knowledge of the field and of Dansk AM Hub, and who is accustomed to working with companies’ ideas and new business models with new technology at the core. I look forward to working with Frank to create growth and innovation in Danish SMEs,” says Tue Mantoni.
Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen will start at Dansk AM Hub in September and states:
“I am very much looking forward to becoming part of Dansk AM Hub. The work of raising the level of companies and Denmark and digitising production is, in my view, not only an incredibly important and challenging task, but also absolutely essential to our international competitiveness.”
It is Industriens Fond that has initiated and developed Dansk AM Hub, Denmark’s national focal point for Additive Manufacturing. The purpose of Dansk AM Hub is to strengthen the competitiveness of Danish industry by promoting the use of Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing. The focus is on small and medium-sized enterprises and the development of new business models that can lead to growth, innovation and sustainable solutions.
