Danish Business has presented a new proposal "Growth in reality", which contains 40 specific recommendations that are intended to create better conditions for Danish growth companies. The organization points out that Danish scale-ups today struggle with difficult access to capital, administrative burdens and national barriers, which cause many to look abroad.
Too many growth companies are leaving Denmark, and only two new stock market listings have been completed since 2022. According to Danish Business, there is a lack of an investment environment where companies can grow without having to leave the country.
- We must remove some of the barriers that currently prevent, for example, pension companies from investing in Danish scale-ups. Europe is still characterized by a lack of harmonization and fragmented capital markets, which means that we experience Europe as massively underinvesting in growth companies. We need to change that, says Brian Mikkelsen, CEO of the Danish Business Association, in a press release.
In "Growth in reality", the Danish Business Association proposes, among other things, closer cooperation between European stock exchanges, a national fund targeted at Danish growth companies and better opportunities for pension companies to invest in small and medium-sized companies. In addition, competitive tax rules, increased focus on education, research, digitalization and AI, as well as targeted efforts for the defense industry, are recommended.
- We have the talent, the ideas and the power of innovation. That is why it is extra frustrating that we are seriously lagging behind when it comes to the framework for companies to grow and create further growth. Let's fulfill the potential and make Denmark a world-class growth nation, says Brian Mikkelsen.
