Location opportunities for foreign companies 

Copenhagen Capacity is the official investment agency of the Greater Copenhagen area set-up to promote Copenhagen to potential corporate investors and to assist companies in establishing an organisation in Copenhagen.

The organisation is an industrial and commercial fund founded in 1994 by the City of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg Municipality and the counties of Copenhagen, Frederiksborg and Roskilde (the Greater Copenhagen Authority).

Throughout the years, COWI has assisted Copenhagen Capacity with technical insight and knowhow in situations where foreign approaches have become specific. It concerns major biotechnical and pharmaceutical companies and companies manufacturing other advanced products or using high-tech processes.

COWI has assisted Copenhagen Capacity and the Greater Copenhagen Authority in developing Copenhagen Locations, an interactive website addressing foreign companies that are considering a potential location in the region.

The website illustrates the many opportunities in the region by displaying an extract of representative sites as well as industrial space and office space. Furthermore, Copenhagen Locations is used by Copenhagen Capacity’s consultants and the trade promotion officers in the region.

Copenhagen Locations is a fully integral part of Copenhagen Capacity’s existing site and contains information about:

  • The infrastructure and characteristics of the districts within the Region
  • The property market
  • The location of companies in the region within R&D, education, biotech/pharma, IT/Tele, logistics as well as head quarters and international brands.

In addition, Copenhagen Locations presents a range of illustrative examples of four types of locations:

  • Sites
  • Offices and industrial space
  • Office hotels
  • Laboratory facilities.

A long line of facts as prices, utility services and building conditions for both the sites and the office and industrial space are available through the site.
