Denmark is a small, open economy. The country's renewable energy, shipping, and niche manufacturing sectors are global leaders, generating over 95% of revenue internationally. This session will explore how Danish companies have scaled globally, rebalanced shifting geopolitical dynamics and maintained a balance between regional and global markets. Lessons from past economic challenges, such as the Cold War and the use of tariffs, will be discussed. Additionally, the session will examine Denmark’s role in strengthening energy security, securing global trade routes, and sourcing critical minerals within Europe. Lastly, the importance of finance to navigate an evolving geopolitical landscape will be highlighted.
