Denmark welcomes foreign investors
Competitive business costs, very flexible labour market conditions, and a wide range of options for business development and innovation make Denmark an attractive choice for new investors.
In 2008, Denmark was ranked the best country to do business in by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) for the third consecutive year. Combined with its excellent geographical location, outstanding infrastructure and leading-edge competencies within ICT, life sciences, maritime industry and renewable energy, Denmark offers the perfect conditions for conducting business.

Denmark commands extensive trading and distribution networks. The competitiveness of the Danish transport industry and the efficiency of its logistics systems – including customs services – have been crucial to the success of its export industry. For any investor considering the choice of a European country for their regional headquarters, distribution hub, contact centre, research facility or production unit, infrastructure and communications are vital elements in the decision mix. And on all these key criteria, Denmark has first-class credentials.

The transport infrastructure throughout Denmark is impressive, even by European standards, with a highly efficient road and rail network, ten seaports with free port and trade zone facilities, and four international airports. Situated just 8 kilometres from the city centre, Copenhagen International Airport is the most cost-efficient airport in Northern Europe and the largest in Scandinavia. Most of Europe's capital cities are within a couple of hours' flying time in any direction, making an out-and-back visit to customers and suppliers fit comfortably into a single day.
