A Stronger Denmark with Highly Skilled International Employees

Close to four out of ten Danish companies seek in vain for new employees and the shortage of labor is expected to increase over the coming years. Highly qualified foreign employees can help to ease the shortage of labor, but Denmark is in global competition when it comes to attracting and retaining global talents. DI Global Talent’s mission is to ensure that companies have access to highly qualified foreign labor and that Denmark is an attractive country for highly qualified foreign employees to live, work and study in.
