Cristina Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. U.S. Embassy, Copenhagen 6 On behalf of the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen, I would like to congratulate AmCham on an extraordinarily successful year. The Embassy is extremely proud of our strong partnership with AmCham in support of the efforts of American businesses operating in Denmark. During the past year, we have jointly hosted many successful events, bringing together leaders from business and politics. We have showcased U.S. companies and their contributions to Danish prosperity and productivity. We applaud AmCham’s mission of working with Danish partners to ensure that Denmark remains among the best and most inviting countries for American companies and for being a driving force in ensuring that American businesses have an equal opportunity to succeed here. Recognizing that the success of those firms contributes to growth and prosperity in Denmark, this year AmCham named McDonald’s the Foreign Company of the Year for its innovation, corporate social responsibility, and investment in employee education. This is but one acknowledgment of the contributions all AmCham’s members make to growth, productivity, and employment in Denmark. AmCham has established itself here as “The Voice of International Business,” committed to promoting a business-friendly environment in Denmark. This includes efforts to improve Denmark’s ability to attract and retain foreign companies, such as AmCham’s Foreign Investor Summit, which has focused on just this. Another highlight this year was our partnership with the Confederation of Danish Industry to launch Green Partnerships for Growth with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. We also convened for a follow-up event hosted by DONG Energy. Events like these demonstrate our strong commitment to working together to facilitate public-private partnerships. In his State of the Union address in January 2013, President Obama announced the launch of negotiations towards a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union. Our two economies already represent the world’s largest trade relationship, accounting for one third of all global goods and services trade and one half of global output. The United States is Denmark’s fourth STEPHEN A. CRISTINA Stephen A. Cristina, an officer in the U.S. Senior Foreign Service, became Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen on September 1, 2010. He is an economic officer who has specialized in the EU for many years, including having held additional positions at the U.S. Mission to the EU, Finland, The Netherlands and Brazil. largest trade partner - the largest outside the EU. That relationship was $20 billion in 2011 and is still growing. We are looking forward to expanding trade with both Denmark and the European Union in the coming years. The U.S. Embassy in Denmark will remain a strong partner of AmCham as we work together to promote U.S. business and to create jobs, growth and prosperity. Stephen A. Cristina William E. Kennard U.S. Ambassador to the EU 7 Trade talks will strengthen our transatlantic partnership In February, President Obama joined European Commission President Barroso and European Council President Van Rompuy in announcing their intention to launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union. The transatlantic economy, which already is the world’s largest, is a success story with potential for significant further growth. The main goals of the TTIP are to boost economic growth in the United States and Europe by further opening goods and services markets, strengthening rules-based investment, addressing non-tariff barriers and promoting greater regulatory compatibility and transparency. Additional goals are to enhance cooperation on the development of rules and principles of global concern, such as standards for State-Owned Enterprises, and enhancing the competitiveness of small- and mediumsized enterprises. In light of its membership in the EU and its successful trade-oriented and advanced economy, Denmark stands to benefit considerably from the conclusion of these negotiations. As we engage in negotiations, our high ambitions must be accompanied by political decisiveness and constructive engagement with stakeholders. We must not let this opportunity pass. Having had the opportunity to engage with AmCham Denmark’s membership on several occasions recently, I applaud your efforts to bring together Danish and American business and political leaders. I encourage your membership to continue to provide sound advice and constructive support at this historic time. William Kennard WILLIAM E. KENNARD Ambassador Kennard has worked actively to promote transatlantic trade and investment and to eliminate regulatory barriers to commerce since assuming his current position in 2009. Prior to his appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the EU, Ambassador Kennard was Managing Director of The Carlyle Group, where he specialized in investments in the telecommunications and media sectors. Ambassador Kennard also served as chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission from November 1997 to January 2001. “There has never been a more important time to have a strong collective voice speaking on behalf of international business” Chairman Stephen Shillington, Managing Director, McDonald’s Danmark 8 Message from the Board of Directors facing our members and to be the voice for these companies in working to influence key decision makers and legislation impacting international companies in Denmark. With a strong policy agenda, wellfunctioning committees and an experienced staff, AmCham is well positioned to be an even more effective voice for international companies in Denmark. The Chamber’s 2013 policy agenda will continue to have “international competitiveness” as the central theme, focusing on the important role played by multinational companies’ investments into Denmark. Additionally, we must continue to make it our priority to understand the issues There has never been a more important time to have a strong collective voice speaking on behalf of international business and there has never been a more important time for the Chamber to deliver events, knowledge exchange opportunities and policy work that assists you, our members, to secure and to grow your business.

No other non-governmental business organization in Denmark has this niche focus, which makes us unique and relevant for key decision makers. This publication is rich with examples of the access and accomplishments that took place during 2012. 2012 provided us with several opportunities to engage key ministers, including Margrethe Vestager, Nick Hækkerup, Astrid Krag and Holger K. Nielsen. In May, AmCham partnered with Dansk Industri for the launch of ‘Green Partnerships for Growth’ with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. A follow-up event in October featured Minister Martin Lidegaard. Our policy agenda continued to set focus on the important role played by multinational enterprises, the need for a national talent strategy and the importance of creating a competitive, stable and predictable investment climate in Denmark. I hope you find this 2013 Yearbook & Membership Directory to be a relevant and informative resource for your business. My personal thanks to our sponsors for making this annual publication a reality. In the fall, our policy platform was further enhanced with the release of AmCham’s ‘2012 Business Barometer’ and our Healthcare Committee’s report on ‘The Benefits of a Healthy Workforce.’ These reports formed the framework for a successful Foreign Investor Summit with Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr. We rounded out a highly successful year during the the much anticipated U.S. Presidential Election, partnering with TV2 for an Election Night Party and participating in the U.S. Embassy’s Election Breakfast.

On March 5, Danish Minister of Defense Nick Hækkerup met with more than 75 AmCham Denmark members and defense industry representatives to share his views on today’s security challenges and his priorities for the Danish military. The meeting was hosted by the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel. In her brief opening remarks, U.S. Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton welcomed the Minister and underscored the strong U.S. commitment to Denmark, saying, “We face global challenges together. Be assured in these times of demanding fiscal restraint, we count on Denmark to continue to be there as a valuable ally and partner.” Minister Hækkerup then took the podium. The focus of his speech was the important role of NATO and global cooperation on defense. “NATO remains the cornerstone of Danish security and defense policy…and continues to play an important role as a regional organization with global responsibilities.” On May 2, Danish Healthcare Minister Astrid Krag met with AmCham members to discuss her vision for the Danish healthcare system. Healthcare industry leaders gathered at the Copenhagen Marriott for the session, which was the Minister’s first opportunity to meet with the international business community.

Finally, at AmCham’s 6th annual Foreign Investor Summit, AmCham joined forces with Invest in Denmark, and invited Danish Minister for Trade and Investment Pia Olsen Dyhr to participate for the 2nd year in a row. Minister Dyhr emphasized the government’s commitment to the business community: “Denmark is open for business, and we are working intensively on improving the conditions for foreign investors.” Adding to the voice of this event was top U.S. economist Joseph Quinlan (Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations/Johns Hopkins and Chief Market Strategist for Bank of America Global Wealth Management), who spoke on the importance of the transatlantic relationship and encouraged EU and Denmark to focus their attention away from BRIC and instead on the true top trading partner, the United States. 1 1 ‘The Business Case for Investing in Denmark’ with partner Copenhagen Capacity (from left): Stephen Brugger (AmCham); Hans Rysgaard (YXLON); Claus Lønborg (Copenhagen Capacity); Niels Hermanson (DNP Denmark) 2 2 Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson discusses IT/Connected Care in connection with e-Health Week 20 3 4 3 Innovation into the Future with Better Place (from right): Johnny Hansen (CEO Better Place Denmark); U.S. Ambassador Laurie S.

Participants gathered at Sølyst to discuss some good news in these less than ideal economic times.

In February, The Heritage Foundation’s James Roberts shared the 2012 Index of Economic Freedom at the Marriott Copenhagen. In April, AmCham Denmark members gathered at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel for an executive leadership session on How to Increase Competitiveness in a Global Marketplace, with Dale Carnegie Training’s CEO, Peter Handal, who talked about the importance of being able to adapt to change: “Change drives innovation, and innovation is what makes us competitive.” In connection with e-Health Week at the Bella Center, AmCham Denmark, alongside HIMSS Europe, organized an exclusive session featuring Kaiser Permanente’s Chairman and CEO, George Halvorson. The discussion focused on the success of Kaiser’s IT/connected care model – something from which many believe the Danish healthcare system could benefit. In the Spring, AmCham teamed up with the U.S. Embassy’s Commercial Service for an informational seminar on The Future of Data Privacy in the European Union. Nearly 60 participants convened at the U.S. Embassy to hear several data privacy experts discuss the new proposals and their potential challenges to businesses.

Opening session at ESAC 2012 (Executive Seminars in Analytical Chemistry) 24 ESAC attendee reviews program 1 2 3 One of AmCham’s most important services to its member companies is the opportunity to work together in special Committees and Task-forces to address common issues that directly or indirectly affect their operations. AmCham committees drive policy and advocacy, developing positions that AmCham can communicate to key decision makers. Committees also foster cooperation between companies, giving members access to their peers and creating a forum for developing new ideas, sharing experiences and, ultimately, achieving common goals. In January, AmCham’s Healthcare Committee met with the Healthcare Ministry’s newly appointed Permanent Secretary, Per Okkels to discuss the committee’s healthcare priorities, including the importance of utilizing innovative healthcare solutions and ways to strengthen Denmark’s unique niche within clinical trials. The meeting was a successful dialogue promising a solutions-oriented cooperation in the future. 1 AmCham’s Healthcare Committee meets with Allan Søgaard Jensen, Chairman of Government’s Growth Team on ‘Health and Welfare Solutions’ 2 AmCham’s Healthcare Committee meets with the Healthcare Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Per Okkels 3 AmCham’s HR Committee meets with Jakob Jensen, Director of the Danish Agency for Labor Retention and International Recruitment AmCham Committees AmCham Finance Committee meets with Tax Minister Holger K.

In May, AmCham’s Human Resources Committee met with Jakob Jensen, Director of the Danish Agency for Labor Retention and International Recruitment. The meeting focused on the challenges that companies face when recruiting foreign talent into Denmark and on areas for future cooperation. In October, AmCham’s Healthcare Committee met with Allan Søgaard Larsen, CEO of Falck and Chair of the Government’s Growth Team on ‘Health and Welfare Solutions.’ The session took place just as the Growth Team was preparing its recommendations to the Danish Government. In late November, AmCham’s newly created Expat Leadership Forum held its first meeting at Weber’s Grilleriet in Frihavn. The forum consists of top level executives and managers across all sectors, who come together to share their perspectives and best practices in order to find ways to lead efficiently. This initial session was focused on understanding the Danish culture and sharing ideas for becoming a more effective leader in Denmark. In December, AmCham’s Finance Committee and Board met with newly Appointed Danish Tax Minister Holger K. Nielsen to discuss its overall policy agenda as well as the government’s recent tax initiatives. Top on AmCham’s agenda was the growing investment gap, the key role of multinational companies to the Danish economy and the importance of ensuring a stable and predictable corporate tax environment for companies investing in Denmark. 2 1 1 Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Building, Martin Lidegaard 2 Green Partnerships for Growth at host Dong Energy’s facilities(from left): U.S. Ambassador Laurie S.

This bilateral initiative builds on the success of previous Green Partnership events in 2010 and 2011, but takes the initiative further to the two nations’ public sectors as well as private sectors. GPG includes the U.S. Embassy, The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and AmCham, along with other partners, to facilitate a series of structured events aimed at connecting the public sectors in the U.S. and Denmark - with the experience, knowledge, products and services of green growth companies in both countries. Already in October, more than 100 business leaders and stakeholders gathered at Dong Energy’s headquarters in Gentofte for a second GPG event, which focused on sharing ideas and best practices for energy efficiency and how companies and governments can work together to meet the goals of the future. In introductory remarks, U.S. Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton spoke about the background for Green Partnerships, as well as President Obama’s “Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future” and the many green initiatives led by the U.S. government. In a keynote address, Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Building Martin Lidegaard explained how energy efficiency is at the core of the government’s energy and climate policy. A second session featured business leaders from GE, Mærsk, 3M, United Technologies and Danfoss, who shared their successful experiences in the business of going green. The conference was rounded out by Graham Pugh, from the U.S. Department of Energy, and David Gilford, from the New York City Economic Development Corp., who talked in depth about many of the initiatives that are underway in the U.S. 1 2 1 Marie Mønsted, Executive Director of Fulbright Denmark, on how to study at University in the U.S. 2 Fulbright’s Ander’s Folkemann explains the University system in the U.S. 28 U.S. Study Seminar at the U.S. Embassy (from left): Colleen Traughberg (U.S. Embassy Consular Officer); Stephen Brugger (AmCham); Marie Mønsted (Fulbright/ DAF); Anders Folkemann (Fulbright/DAF); Vibeke Musgrave (U.S. Embassy Public Affairs); Anne Berg Villumsen (AmChamFulbright student at U.C. Berkeley) U.S. Study Seminar In August, AmCham, the U.S. Embassy and the Fulbright Commission partnered on an event about the practicalities of choosing and applying for university study in the U.S. With more than 4,500 colleges and universities in the United States, people need to know where to turn for answers. Marie Mønsted, Executive Director for the Fulbright Commission in Denmark, shared information about the services they offer. “Our motto is, ‘We Make it Happen,’ and we do. We send kids off to the U.S. every day,” said Mønsted. Colleen Traughber, from the U.S. Embassy’s Consular Division, and head of the non-immigrant visa department, shed some light on the student visa process, and AmCham-Fulbright student, Anne Berg Villumsen, who is just starting her second year of graduate school at U.C. Berkeley, shared insights on studying and living in the U.S., based on her own personal experiences. www.wemakeithappen.dk AmCham’s Education and Integration Fund 29 As the leading representative of international business in Denmark, AmCham bears the responsibility of not only speaking out on issues that affect its members, but also contributing to effective, long term solutions to these issues. It is our belief that two of the biggest challenges facing Denmark lie within the areas of Education and Integration. Therefore, on the occasion of AmCham Denmark’s 10th Anniversary Celebration (May 2009), the Board of Directors established an Education and Integration Fund for initiatives enhancing Denmark’s competitiveness in terms of attaining foreign investments and a sustainable, quality workforce. The fund has resulted in a cooperation between AmCham Denmark and the Fulbright Commission, which AmCham continued in 2012 by selecting two beneficiaries: Renee Cooper and Vincent Rosenbaum Appel. Renee Cooper Renee Cooper is a Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in the Fashion Merchandising Management Department. She is also Assistant Chairperson of the department and has been a member of the faculty since 2000. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, as well as a degree in Global Fashion Management. While teaching at KEA Copenhagen in Spring 2013, her objective is to deliver her students best practice business trends regarding technology implementation, the impact of social media, strategic management techniques, customer relationship management and preparation for entrepreneurial ventures. Vincent Rosenbaum Appel Vincent Appel is a student at Copenhagen University, working on a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics in the Department of Biology. He currently holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nano Science. Vincent has dreamed of studying abroad since high school, and is thrilled to have been accepted into UC Berkeley as a graduate student as a part of the University of Copenhagen’s exchange program. He was attracted to Bioinformatics because of his fascination with cell and evolutionary biology. The course in Bioinformatics at Berkeley is structured around medium sized projects in which students apply their knowledge to genuine issues in collaboration with a team of scientists.

Participants were treated to a variety of classic American food and drink favorites provided by Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, including Budweiser, Jack Daniels and Ben & Jerry’s. The California Wine Institute provided a wine tasting, where guests could sample some of the region’s finest wines. 3 U.S. Presidential Election Singer Caroline Henderson entertains the crowd at the TV2 Election Party Post-Election Breakfast Reception The following morning, the U.S. Embassy hosted a post-election breakfast reception at the Copenhagen Marriott.

Assisting foreign enterprises in expanding or acquiring business in Denmark is one of our core competencies. rl.dk Copenhagen Capacity is the Danish Capital City region’s organization for investment promotion, business development and cluster growth. copcap.com Invest in Denmark is part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and provides your company with a tailor-made solution for locating your business in Denmark. investindk.com 38 Why choose Denmark as your business location? You will benefit from Scandinavia’s largest recruitment base of highly skilled employees, competitive salaries, and Europe’s most flexible labor market, allowing companies to scale up and down to specific business needs. We also offer the cheapest office rental prices of all major cities in Scandinavia as well as a number of highly specialized industries within various sectors. Benefit from ideal framework conditions on top of persuasive commercial arguments. The Wall Street Journal ...has ranked Denmark as the number one country in the world to start a new business. 39 Easy to establish – easy to do business Flexible labor law – easy to scale headcounts A company can be incorporated online within a few hours. No Danish residence requirement applies for registered management, allowing foreign management to maintain complete control, and no local shareholder requirement applies. Denmark offers the most flexible hiring and firing in Europe. Accordingly, scaling up and down is very cost-efficient and easy. Generally, no restrictions apply in relation to firing approvals from unions, ‘last in, first out’, or other obstacles in case a company has to scale down. A unique tax rule – perfect for a European expansion Social security payment – virtually none In most other countries, expansion through branches leads to double taxation. However, according to a unique Danish tax rule, income deriving from foreign branches of a Danish company is generally not taxed in Denmark. Saving costs and administration by avoiding double tax challenges makes Denmark an attractive location for regional headquarters. Competitive corporate tax – proposed reduction to 22% The Danish government has presented an ambitious reform to improve Danish competiveness even further. Reducing the corporate tax rate over a 3-year period is part hereof. Structuring the Danish company as a profit centre will often result in global tax savings. As part of the world-famous Danish flexicurity model, the employer only pays social security corresponding to EUR 1,350 per employee per year. The employer in Denmark, as opposed to most other European countries, pays no additional social security payment on top of the salary. Even more benefits – unlimited talent Denmark offers a number of other advantages such as fasttrack work permits for non-EU employees, expat taxation of only 26% for five years, and a number of other benefits that may be advantageous for your business.

Denmark has gone from being 99 per cent dependent on foreign fossil fuel to a completely energy self-sufficient country. Almost 40 years of ambitious energy policy targets have catapulted Denmark ahead of most other nations in the use of renewable energy technology. Denmark has taken the lead position in sustainable energies, including wind, wave, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal energy. Protection of the environment is a major industry and focus area in Denmark. Knowledge and opportunities are vast within water, wastewater, air purification, sustainable building materials, waste incineration and recycling.
