Denmark and the Danish DNA

Denmark is a small country with approximately 5,7 million inhabitants. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy ruled by a representative democracy and a strong defender of free trade, human rights, and free speech.

One of the most livable countries

Safety, tolerance, green initiatives, international connectivity, creative environments, a relaxed lifestyle, cycle culture democratic design and the active use of city spaces are among the key reasons why Denmark is ranked as one of the most livable countries. 

Denmark is often cited as one of the world’s best countries to live in, priding itself on having a healthy work-life balance. The Danish welfare model, with its flexible working conditions and social support networks, not only places Denmark at the top of the international equality league, but also contributes to a generally high standard of living. 

The country ranks highly in metrics of national performance, including education, healthcare, protection of civil liberties, democratic governance, prosperity and human development. The strong welfare state ensures a high level of income equality and the country has one of the lowest perceived levels of corruption in the world and one of the world’s highest per capita incomes.
 

Denmark as a safe and secure destination

Denmark is one of the safest, most secure, and peaceful countries in the world with a strong healthcare system, hyperconnected infrastructure and a highly tech-savvy and English speaking population.

Attending a conference or a meeting in Denmark is quite a pleasant experience. World famed food, a hyperconnected infrastructure
and people who are easy to get along with. Thanks to the unique and inclusive welfare and healthcare systems, people trust each other and know that the authorities are working to keep everyone safe - through pandemics and in general.

In fact, there’s not much to worry about around here. Denmark has low crime rates and high health. Even traffic is safer here than almost
anywhere else. Maybe that’s why Denmark is one of the five safest countries in the world according to a new survey by SOS International.
