85% of Denmark’s population is online and actively using digital services. Less than 2% have never used the internet, and only 3 out of 10 lack digital skills. Denmark’s tech-savviness and robust IT infrastructure provide the country with a solid foundation for becoming a leading tech ecosystem.
Denmark has a global footprint in software development. Some of the most used programming languages like C++, TurboPascal and Visual Prolog have been developed by Danish researchers. In addition, many global software companies like Skype, Tradeshift and Unity have been created in Denmark.
Copenhagen’s tech ecosystem is collaborative, explorative and full of creative energy. Everyone and everything is at a walkable distance, fostering the feeling of closeness and resulting in stronger competition and high standards — an environment that benefits both startups and investors.
