Nokia Closes, But 35 New Businesses Have Start Up In Denmark

10 Oct 2012

Last year Nokia closed its Danish R&D department as part of its global consolidation process. But this has taken a dramatic turn with establishment of 35 new Danish start-ups and more in pipeline. Companies are offered free office spaces in the same building.

We have received tremendous support from among other, authorities, Copenhagen Municipality, Invest in Denmark and Copenhagen Capacity, and we hope eventually to establish a mini-Silicon Valley with the skills that are gathered here. In addition to the creation of new companies, there are also ten external companies that have decided to settle in the area, and along with the fact that Aalborg University has also moved in, we hope that there will be synergy between both research and education, patents, start-ups and new product development, "explains Peter Ib, CEO at Nokia Denmark.

The new companies have created a ray of hope for the Nokia staff who were removed when the company got closed last year and also for new people who want to settle in the country. Denmark offers the Danish Green Card for foreign skilled professionals who want to move to Denmark for enormous career opportunities and the world class lifestyle.
Danish Green Card allows you to stay and work in the country for 3 years. The card is renewable and can be extended. This is the pathway to get a Danish PR and subsequently a Denmark citizenship.
