Hosting Team & Department
Your project will be anchored in the Digitalization Team, a key part of the Operational Excellence function within Global Operations. In this role, you will contribute your academic insights toward advancing and harnessing AI capabilities in a highly regulated medtech environment.

Project Description
As Coloplast continues to expand its use of AI, your input will be critical in helping us harvest the technology’s full value in Global Operations. With several AI initiatives already underway—and more planned—the focus is on integrating the latest academic research with practical, real-world applications. Given our regulated production of medical devices, applying AI brings unique challenges around documentation, transparency, and risk management. 

We invite you to challenge historical decisions and recommend a future direction in tackling key questions such as:

• What are the major AI opportunities for a global operations function?
• Which obstacles may hinder the full potential of AI integration?
• How can we manage the inherent “black box” elements of AI while ensuring compliance?
• What guiding principles should shape our rapidly evolving AI roadmap?
• How can we balance the high stakeholder expectations with industry realities?

Relevant Study Backgrounds
We are seeking students with strong academic backgrounds in areas such as engineering, computer science, business analytics, or comparable fields. The successful candidate will be eager to apply theoretical insights to address practical challenges and drive the integration of AI into our Global Operations.

Preferred Competencies or Interests
The ideal candidate should have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, paired with a genuine passion for leveraging AI to enhance operational processes. A customer-centric mindset and the ability to navigate both technical and regulatory challenges are key to contributing innovative and strategic insights on a global scale.

Sponsor(s)
Your project will be supported by Senior Director Jens Lanng Nielsen, leading the global digital strategy in our Global Operations unit. Working closely with him and the Digitalization Team, you will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights and mentorship from professionals dedicated to advancing AI initiatives in a regulated, high-impact environment.
