Business communication with people from Denmark usually is informal and is characterised by humour and a good mood, but at the same time, Danes usually keep a certain distance. You’ll rarely hear that someone is promoting himself or his skills. It’s quite the opposite – people there tend to undervalue their roles and qualification. Business communication in Denmark during meetings is simple and usually, Danes are conservative and effective. In the beginning, Danish businessmen can seem formal though soon enough they will show their informal side. Most Danes speak about their private life with their co-workers without difficulty. They talk about their family and what they are doing on holidays and in their free time. Danish, Swedish and Norwegian are very similar and all these languages are understood by everyone in all three countries. English is taught in primary school as an obligatory language and it is spoken and understood by 80% of the inhabitants. English is used as a corporative language in most big companies. You can even say that for some, English is like their second language. Virtually all Danish entrepreneurs have a good command of English and interpreters are rarely necessary. Emails are often written in English from the start, so they can involve their associates or partners from other countries in the correspondence. In Denmark, English is the main language of communication in the business environment. That’s why Danish does not play a big role as a business language in the world or even in Denmark. But in any case, if you greet a Danish businessman in their native tongue it won’t go without notice. Denmark has been acknowledged as one of the best business places. Denmark is home to world-class companies in several sectors, paying particular attention to the renewable energy industry. More than 40 years of ambitious energy policy have helped Denmark to come in first place of CLEANTECH, and the country aims to become fully fossil fuel independent by 2050. Innovation in the food industry also is one of the industries that has an impact on a national and international scale. Denmark’s food industry has to follow very high-quality standards and exemplary hygiene and safety has to be observed. No wonder some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world can be found right in Denmark. It is the sixth largest shipping nation in the world in terms of tonnage operated. The Danish business Maersk Line is the biggest container shipping operator in the world. So business and work opportunities are open to the whole world.
