Digital Hub Denmark and Copenhagen Capacity

Welcome to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, nestled in the heart of Scandinavia. With a history dating back to the Viking Age, the capital of Denmark boasts a compelling heritage that comes across in its colorful architecture and historical landmarks. Notable figures like the famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen and philosopher Søren Kierkegaard were born here, and both were inspired by the two islands that form the city, Zealand and Amager.

With stunning waterfronts and picturesque views, Copenhagen focuses strongly on sustainability and green initiatives, whether that's focusing on bike lanes, exploring the local fauna and flora for sustainable dishes, or fostering innovative solutions like Too Good To Go, the anti-food-waste app. In fact, Copenhagen has become a hotbed of entrepreneurial activity in recent years, also as the home of Trustpilot, the customer review platform. By fostering a dynamic and supportive startup ecosystem, especially for small and medium businesses (which form 99 percent of companies in Denmark), Copenhagen has something extraordinary to offer for every entrepreneur.
