We are strengthening our presence in Denmark

Our Denmark office will be our 28th international office, giving us a presence in 23 countries worldwide. We will announce the news on the opening day of the business delegation to Copenhagen and Aarhus on 15–16 June, held in connection with King Harald and Queen Sonja's official visit to Denmark.

The business delegation will focus on energy, carbon capture, offshore wind, green shipping, health and defence, and was fully booked before departure. Leading Norwegian companies in these industries are joining the delegation to Denmark to build connections in the Danish market.

Our CEO, Håkon Haugli, believes now is the right time to open a new office in Denmark. From here, we will provide Norwegian companies with the knowledge and contacts they need to enter the Danish market. Kristine Kopperud Timberlid will lead our office in Denmark. She is currently our Regional Director for Vestland.

'Norwegian and Danish companies complement each other well in areas such as green energy and health technology. The world urgently needs action to achieve significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, and we face several societal challenges that we must address. Norway and Denmark have the tools to help us play our part in this work,' says Haugli.

Today, Danish company Ørsted will hold a signing ceremony for its carbon capture and storage agreement with Norway's Aker Carbon Capture and Northern Lights. The agreement is one of the first commercial cross-border CCS partnerships in Europe. From 2026, 430,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured and stored beneath the North Sea each year.

Haugli believes this agreement is a good example of how Norwegian-Danish cooperation can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.

'Carbon capture and storage is one of several areas where Norway is at the forefront. Our task now is to identify more opportunities for Norwegian companies in Denmark and connect them with the right partners to secure more agreements in the years ahead,' says Haugli.
