Talent International is currently recruiting in Denmark for a major international tech company and we’re looking for ambitious, high level candidates to place in a number of roles including C-Level.
Digital-Tech is booming globally and key personnel are in great demand the world over. And if you’re an ambitious Digi-Tech professional working in Europe, then right now, Denmark is the place to be – and here’s why.
Denmark went to the top of the DESI (Digital Economy and Society Index) in 2016, making it the most digital country in the EU. Online is where most Danes do business, and where they go about their daily business, with 88% of Danes banking online, and 82% doing their shopping online.
Danish citizens are the most advanced Internet users in the EU, and Denmark is gradually implementing a digital-by-default strategy for the most frequently used public services, taking advantage of the high percentage of eGovernment users, which is the second highest in the EU. 71% of Danish Internet users return filled forms online to file to various public authorities.
Danes are among the most intensive users of video on demand and online shopping.
More than 82% of Danish internet users shop online and nearly half of them engage in cross-border shopping. Danes also read news online (69%), listen to music, watch films and play games online (57%), obtain video content using their broadband connections (78% of households use video on demand), use the Internet to communicate via voice or video calls (46%) or through social networks (67%).
Danish businesses make 15% of their turnover from online sales, which is the third best performance in the EU. And 25% of small and medium-sized companies in Denmark sell online and 9.8% sell online across borders.
Adoption by Danish businesses of electronic information sharing technologies is progressing fast. The adoption rates of eBusiness technologies such as eInvoices (59%) and Cloud services (27%) are among the highest in the EU.
All of this makes Denmark the ideal location for International Digital companies to develop and test new technologies – which is exactly what is happening.

Greater Copenhagen has become a living test lab for Smart City solutions, owing to easy access to collaboration and partnerships with the public sector, industry and academia. Moreover, Denmark has a long tradition of citizen involvement in urban planning and development, and the Danes are early adopters of new technologies.
