As is well known, Germany has traditionally been Denmark’s largest export market and still is when counting how many Danish companies are active in that market.

Yet, there are currently some dark clouds hanging above the German economy.  And, on the other hand, there still is a huge, unexploited potential for Danish companies in Germany.

So what are the challenges for Danish companies in Europe’s by far largest market, and which opportunities do they miss? Last but not least: what would be smart first steps when preparing your plans for becoming more successful in Germany?

We have invited Hans Wicks, General Manager DI Germany, to elaborate on those questions:
  • Status of the German economy and challenges faced
  • Why DI established itself in Germany and in particular why in Berlin?
  • Navigating a difficult environment and succeeding with recruiting

Join us for a talk on opportunities and challenges in Germany at this free webinar.
