    The business climate in Denmark ranks as the best in Europe according to The World Bank’s Doing Busines Report 2016.

    Doing business in Denmark has proven to be fast, efficient and profitable. The country also offers highly skilled employees, a famously flexible labour market and a stable business environment. 

    The Danish motorway network and public transportation system are modern, nationwide and optimised for growth.

    Horsens is located in the centre of this network. With our own commercial harbour and nearby international airport, Horsens is the perfect spot for distribution of goods as well as for attracting labour.

    Why move to Horsens?

    Horsens is among the top 3 growth regions in Denmark, attracting people, business, international students and investments.

    Along with the Copenhagen region, we are at the top of the list as far as population projections show – so far until 2040.

    More than one million people live within 45 minutes of Horsens. The workforce is well-educated, flexible and naturally English-speaking.

    90,000 live in The Municipality of Horsens. An unemployment rate below the national average is a clear indication of our region’s positive growth. 

    We invest in education. You will have excellent opportunities for recruiting specialised staff from our abundance of tech schools and colleges or managers and academics from the region's universities and business schools.

    We have an international campus with thousands of international students that will bring exciting new research and cultural knowledge of new markets into your business. 

    Traditionally, Horsens and the Central Region, which Horsens is a part of, are really strong within food, energy, clean-tech, logistics and housing construction.

    Some of the country's biggest corporations within these industries are located here. 

    Business parks, retail stores, manufacturing plants, storage facilities, investment properties – we have available space to rent or buy for establishing your business in Horsens.

    There is also a wide selection of building sites available on attractive locations with a highly developed infrastructure. Some right next to the motorway. Prices start at 110 DKK pr. m2.

    Horsens is a cultural beacon with a wide selection of activities for residents and visitors – from stadium concerts to street art and events for kids.

    You will find great nature sites with biking and trekking routes, beach and coastal activities, an urban style city centre where people shop, wine & dine or just hang out in parks and recreational areas.
