Why Denmark?
"For a company like ours, with global headquarters in Germany, geography counts. Denmark has direct flights to most cities in Europe and is logistically a perfect choice. In addition to this, the social infrastructure is splendid for our expatriates - they even have an international and a German school here..."
- Peer Steensbro, Finance Director, Bayer Norden
Reasons for choosing Denmark:
- Communication with continental Europe is as efficient as the inter-Scandinavian links
- The relations with the Baltic States and Eastern Europe have been historically strong
- The direct access to the east cannot be matched from neither Sweden, Norway nor Finland
- Europe’s most flexible labour market – allowing companies to operate 24/7/365
- Dynamic business environment with a minimum of ‘red tape’
