Denmark will be appointing the world's first tech digital ambassador.

The foreign minister, Anders Samuelsen, has announced he will appoint the world’s first ambassador for digitalisation.
The coming official will be charged with establishing and grooming networks with tech giants like Google, Apple, IBM and Microsoft. Though the job is yet to be filled, but the move highlights the growing importance of the tech sector for the Danish economy.
Samuelsen described the Danish government's efforts at strengthening its ties with the world's biggest tech companies as "TechPlomacy."
The tech ambassador will carry out similar duties to other Danish ambassadors, and negotiate on behalf of the country. Samuelsen said he or she will also talk to tech companies about issues such as data security and privacy. culled
