Region Zealand
Region Zealand is one of Denmark's five regions. It has 800,000 inhabitants and is characterised by its open landscapes, several important market towns and an extensive coastline. This variety endows the region with good opportunities for different industry types – from high technology and innovation companies in the cities to well-developed agriculture and a large tourism industry.

Very accessible
Its geographical location with connections to Jutland, northern Germany, Copenhagen and the Øresund Region make Region Zealand very accessible. The infrastructure is well developed in terms of the road network, motorways, railways and ports, which is a great advantage to the region's economic life.

Close to Copenhagen
Region Zealand's economic life can be seen in connection with its closeness to the capital. This gives the companies in the region access to the workforce in the metropolitan area as well as in the region itself. At the same time, Region Zealand complements the capital – for instance within transport and shipping services.

Highly qualified workforce
As in the rest of the country, the level of education in the region is very high. The region offers easy access to out-of-school education and various types of short, medium-length and further education. Many of the educational establishments collaborate. They also work closely with trade and industry, which helps to ensure that the education in the region provides the workforce with the required competencies. The university in the region – Roskilde University Centre – is known throughout Denmark for producing graduates who are in demand in both the public and the private sectors.

Attractive for citizens and tourists
In addition to offering a good framework for trade and industry, the region is an attractive place to live. The beautiful countryside combined with good schools and leisure opportunities is currently attracting an increasing number of people from the metropolitan area. The region also appeals to tourists, and both Danish and German tourists enjoy, among other things, the nature and the many coastal areas as well as the numerous cultural attractions. The tourism industry, which has been experiencing rapid growth over the last decade, also provides a broad range of accommodation options and recreational experiences.
