“Danish Dynamite!” – Sørensen wins ITS network person of the year at Nationals awards

The Danish intelligent transport professional Søren Sørensen has been named ITS Nationals network person of the year the organisation’s annual awards ceremony in the Polish capital, Warsaw.

The event was sponsored by SWARCO, The Traffic Group, Daktronics, IDASO, Intertraffic and the 2027 ITS World Congress in Birmingham.

Mr Sørensen is the chairman of the ITS Denmark organisation, and he is also the leader in NEMU – the Nordics ecosystem mobility unlimited, making its systems work cross border in the Nordic countries and beyond, and also playing a major role in the Mobility as a Service Alliance for technology and standardisation

Announcing the award, Richard Neumann from sponsor SWARCO told the group: “I would like to make a parallel to the Danish football team. They have a great slogan: The supporters of the Danish football team, they shout, you are red, you are white, you are Danish dynamite. So that’s what you are, Søren, Danish dynamite, thank you for your contributions to the ITS industry in general.”

the reason that I can stand here is not because of me, it’s because of the IGs Nordic plus the idea that we came together and worked together and created both the previous project Nomad, which was the strategy part of it, and now we’re going into implementation mode. And we’re doing that with the help of all the IGs organization in the Nordics, and in fact, the project is now owned by Nordic plus, so I think we can bring that as a showcase here to ICS nationals, that each country may be a small contributor, but working together, we can really move things and create better mobility for all in Europe.
