Copenhagen – your gateway to Europe
Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia and the capital of the EU-country Denmark. With its strategic location and efficient infrastructure, Copenhagen serves as the major hub and traffic linkage point between the homogeneous and affluent Scandinavian market consisting of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the integrated European economy.
Danish companies are characterized by an easy-going corporate culture that makes for open and honest communication. The working environment is democratic and informal, with short communication lines between upper management and the individual employee. Flexibility and dialogue are highly valued among the Danish employees. In addition, most Danes are at ease with communication in foreign languages. About 80% of all Danes speak English.
In the following, you will find more about Copenhagen and information that is worth knowing for companies from North America.
In Scandinavia, the Copenhagen city region has the largest population concentration, and from Copenhagen it is possible to reach 9 million people within a radius of 300 kilometres.
