Established in 1999, AmCham Denmark is part of the global AmCham network present in more than 100 countries and headquartered in Washington D.C. As the voice for international business AmCham is committed to building a competitive business environment in Denmark, and to doing its part to minimize barriers to international trade. 3 Managing Editor: Chris Eberhart Writers: The AmCham Team Layout & Design: Woer+Gregorius Printing: Team Rapo Contact Information: AmCham Denmark, Christians Brygge 26, 1559 Copenhagen V, Denmark, Phone (+45) 33 932 932, Fax (+45) 33 932 938, [email protected], www.amcham.dk Photos: AmCham Denmark, Pamela Juhl and Istock / The American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in this publication.

I applaud your success in advocating for the interests of U.S. and foreign companies in Denmark. We at U.S. Embassy Copenhagen are proud to work with AmCham as we jointly engage Danish partners to ensure that Denmark’s business environment is welcoming to U.S. firms and business professionals. Among the many outstanding AmCham activities the Embassy was pleased to support in 2010, two highlights of our cooperation deserve special mention. In May 2010, AmCham was a primary supporter of Green Partnerships, a joint effort of the U.S. Embassy and the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI). This event brought ”Tusind tak, AmCham, for your partnership and support on this important initiative.” together more than 60 innovative U.S., Danish, and Faroese “green technology” firms – including several AmCham members – to find ways to partner with each other towards a more sustainable energy economy. This event was so successful that we will hold follow-up Green Partnerships events in the United States in September 2011 around the same theme and with even more participants. In October 2010, the Embassy and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs co-hosted the Role of Women in Global Security Conference (RWGSC) in Copenhagen. The RWGSC featured internationally known plenary speakers, such as NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Secretary Hillary Clinton, Danish Ministers Espersen, Beck and Pind. It also brought together leaders and activists from focus countries to highlight barriers and recommend best practices to increase the participation of women in countries emerging from conflict to help bring stability, security and prosperity to their countries. RWGSC benefitted from private as well as public support. AmCham’s support in welcoming conference participants at a reception on the opening day, and sponsorship for the conference from several AmCham members, were key to the conference’s success. Tusind tak, AmCham, for your partnership and support on this important initiative. Meeting with AmCham members, I am continually impressed by their commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship. AmCham members understand the importance of turning great ideas into products and then expanding those products into new markets via exports and market development. In this regard, the success of AmCham companies meets our Embassy agenda. We work to help more American companies succeed in Denmark and for more American products to be exported and sold overseas. President Obama’s agenda to double the number of American American Chiefs of Mission at Rydhave Minister Monett B. Davis (1945) / Ambassador Josiah Marvel, Jr. (1946-1949) / Ambassador Eugenie Andersen (1950-1953) / Ambassador Robert Coe (1953-1957) / Ambassador Val Peterson (1957-1960) / Ambassador William McCormick Blair, Jr. (1961-1964) / Ambassador Katherine E. White (1964-1968) / Ambassador Angier Biddle Duke (1968-1969) / Ambassador Guilford Dudley, Jr. (1969-1971) / Ambassador Fred J. Russel (1971-1972) / Ambassador Philip K. Growe (1973-1975) / Ambassador John G. Dean (1975-1978) / Ambassador Warren D. Manshel (1978-1981) Ambassador John L. Loeb, Jr. (1981-1983) / Ambassador Terence Todman (1983-1989) / Ambassador Keith L. Brown (1989-1992) / Ambassador Richard B. Stone (1992-1993) / Ambassador Edward E. Elson (1993-1998) / Ambassador Richard N. Swett (1998-2001) / Ambassador Stuart Bernstein (2001-2005) / Ambassador James P. Cain (2005-2009) / Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton (2009-) 7 exports in five years through the National Export Initiative is an Embassy priority. The new Renewable Energy and Energy Efficient Export (RE&EE) Initiative, which calls for a collective effort between the U.S. government and U.S. industry to increase exports and open new markets for American energy products and services, is also of special importance to our efforts here in Denmark. As President Obama set forth in his State of the Union Message 2011, innovation is key to winning the future, and innovation will help American exports gain market share. We have a unique opportunity to contribute to this effort in Denmark. Innovation and promising development and commercialization in the area of sustainable energy technology is creating jobs, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, helping make the planet healthier – and is a strength of many AmCham members. Again, thank you, AmCham and members, for your dedication and continued efforts to ensure that the United States remains the world leader for new ideas and wealth creation. As President Obama said on February 7 to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C.: “We still have, by far, the world’s largest and most vibrant economy. We have the most productive workers, the finest universities and the freest markets. The men and women in this room are living testimony that American industry is still the source of the most dynamic companies, and the most ingenious entrepreneurs.” The President’s words fit AmCham perfectly. AmCham members are outstanding examples of the finest that American business offers. We at the Embassy are pleased to be your partners, and I personally look forward to another great year, “winning the future together.” U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark Laurie S. Fulton Before being appointed U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, Ms. Fulton was a Partner at Williams & Connolly LLP, where she had a national practice in complex civil litigation, internal investigations and white collar criminal defense.

Ms. Fulton holds a B.A. from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a J.D., magna cum laude from Georgetown University. Chairman Kim Østrup Vice President IBM Danmark 8 Message from the Board AmCham Denmark, under the leadership of Stephen Brugger and the dedication of its capable staff, continues to make great progress in its policy and advocacy work. This is especially evident as we look back on 2010 and the high level access that AmCham achieved within the Danish government, holding no less than 15 meetings with key decision makers in Danish politics. If ever there was a doubt that AmCham is gaining momentum as the leading voice for international business in Denmark, it was vanquished immediately when the AmCham’s Executive Director Stephen Brugger was asked to testify before the Prime Minister’s Growth Forum on the barriers to foreign direct investment in Denmark – a highlight of AmCham’s achievements in 2010. The progress that AmCham has made in the past is just the tip of the iceberg. We believe that our efforts will continue to promote new and greater growth opportunities for our members and for Denmark as a whole. AmCham remains committed to this crucially important purpose and with your active support will continue to make great strides in the coming year.

No other non-governmental organization in Denmark has this niche focus which makes us unique and relevant for key decision makers, and we are being confirmed in the access we are achieving and the work that we are accomplishing. This yearbook is rich with examples of the access and accomplishments that took place during 2010. AmCham Denmark has made it a priority to identify issues affecting our member companies, communicate these issues to decision makers and work towards sustainable solutions. Of primary concern is the current and future shortage of talent in Denmark. The supply of highly qualified ”AmCham will continue to push for an environment that makes it easy for foreign talents to choose and stay in Denmark.” labor remains insufficient to satisfy demand, and the situation will only worsen as the longer term demographic challenges facing Denmark and Europe become reality in the coming years. Attracting and retaining global talent is and will continue to be essential to Denmark’s competitiveness. Therefore AmCham will continue to push for an environment that makes it easy for foreign talents to choose and stay in Denmark. We have gained some significant momentum this past year, making headway in improving expat taxation and increasing international school capacity, and we will continue to drive these and more issues through the coming year. Equally important to Denmark’s competitiveness is the ability of our member companies to invest, grow and flourish both in- and outside of Denmark. AmCham will place a great deal of focus this coming year on promoting an environment that encourages foreign direct investment both here and abroad. In addition to ensuring a sufficient and adequate labor supply, important aspects of this include a stable regulatory regime and a tax climate that promotes cross border investment. It is our aim to continue the outreach and constructive dialogue we have established with key decision makers, as well as continue to build relationships across organizations, academia and parliament in order to make AmCham even more relevant going forward. Our success will continue to depend in part on your participation and the input and support you provide to us; as well as AmCham’s committed staff and engaged Board of Directors, without the enthusiasm and drive of which we would simply not be able to make the progress AmCham continues to make each year. Let me therefore finish off by thanking you, our members, for your active support as well as thank the AmCham Board for their efforts in 2010.

Building on the momentum in 2009, AmCham hit the deck running in all aspects. ACCESS – CONNECTIONS – SERVICE AmCham Denmark makes it a priority to provide members access to key business and political leaders. Whether speaking out on behalf of its members, facilitating face-to-face contact, or highlighting the important contributions international companies make to Denmark, its economy and its ability to compete, AmCham was at the top of its game. AmCham enjoys mixing business with pleasure, and in 2010 it certainly paid off. In a variety of settings AmCham worked to insure that, while gaining relevant experiences and sharing important knowledge, members had ample opportunity to network and connect with other high level executives, diplomats and politicians. Excellent service to its member companies has always been one of AmCham’s key priorities. 2010 was no exception. Whether assisting members to get their key messages out to AmCham’s extensive network or providing high quality opportunities for company promotion, AmCham’s service benefitted members in 2010. 1 1 Minister for Taxation Troels Lund Poulsen addresses Amcham’s 4th annual Foreign Investors Summit. 2 2 AmCham Chairman Kim Østrup, IBM Danmark; U.S. Ambassador Laurie S.

Already in February, AmCham joined forces with Copenhagen Capacity, co-author of The Talent to Succeed, in Børsen to address the serious talent shortage in Denmark and the importance of attracting and retaining talent both now and in the future. Shortly thereafter, Copenhagen’s Lord Mayor Frank Jensen reached out to AmCham to partner up and reinforce the message – highlighting the need for a “One Stop Shop” to service these high-level ExPats’ needs upon arriving in Denmark. With AmCham’s support and encouragement fueling progress, Denmark’s first “One Stop Shop” opened its doors in Copenhagen in June 2010. Meetings with key politicians filled the calendar in 2010. One of the most significant events was AmCham’s testimony before the Prime Minister’s Growth Forum in April 2010. As part of the Prime Minister’s efforts to understand and improve Denmark’s slow productivity growth, several experts were brought before the Forum to provide testimony that would assist them to identify key inhibiting factors and develop solutions. To speak on foreign direct investment and the challenges to attracting and retaining this investment in Denmark, the Prime Minister invited AmCham’s Executive Director Stephen Brugger. Additional policy highlights for 2010 include “Meet the Leaders” events with Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen in April, Minister for Business & Economic Affairs Brian Mikkelsen in May, and Minister for Defense Gitte Lillelund Bech in September; and round table meetings with the Minister for the Interior Bertel Haarder in May, Head of the Capital Region Niels Preisler in June, Minister for Health and Prevention Bertel Haarder in September, and Minister for Taxation Troels Lund Poulsen in October. Finally, the 2010 Foreign Investors Summit held at Christiansborg in September was a high point for AmCham’s policy and advocacy. With the release of its 2010 Business Barometer highlighting that 44% of respondents were considering or had considered moving investments out of Denmark, the message to decision makers was loud, clear and reinforced by key members of the business, academic and political communities. Sharing their viewpoints and participating in the ensuing discussions were Bill Allen, Group Senior Vice President Human Resources, A.P. Møller-Mærsk; Leif Beck Fallesen, former Managing Editor and CEO of business daily Børsen; Jan Rose Skaksen, Professor, Copenhagen Business School; Minister for Taxation Troels Lund Poulsen; and Social Liberal Party Leader Margrethe Vestager. Defense Minister Gitte Lillelund Bech discusses current defense industry challenges at a Meet the Leaders in September. 1 1 Citi’s Carsten Stendevad lays out the corporate finance priorities for 2010 at a spring Executive Forum. 2 Executive Forum speakers Lars Rohde, ATP CEO; Jørgen Bardenfleth, Microsoft Denmark General Manager; and Dr. Kim Møller, Great Place to Work Institute CEO. 3 Executives network during a break. 20 3 2 Executive Forums Provide Access to Experts and Information 21 AmCham’s Executive Forum series was strong in 2010, providing member company executives access to experts and information in variety of areas. Relevant topics and timely information made the 2010 Forum series a true value added for AmCham members. AmCham kicked off the year with its annual review of Corporate Finance Priorities, a series started in 2008. Presenters Carsten Stendevad, global head of Citi’s Financial Strategy Group and Niels Peder Nielsen, Senior Partner at Bain & Company sent executives home with some valuable key messages. Stendevad was cautiously optimistic about 2010, but while there is a lot of hope, he stated, corporate budgets are still pointing to a high degree of vigilance. Niels Peder Nielsen counseled companies to focus on their core business. With 2009 fresh in their minds, executives must ensure better alignment between business strategy and balance sheet requirements. Getting down to the core of your business is the first place to start. In May, the series continued with Daniel Stelter from Boston Consulting Company exploring how companies can flourish in a slow-growth economy. The take home message was clear. The slow growth economy isn’t necessarily bad news for companies. “Those that take the initiative, respond defensively to the challenge and execute their strategies with single-minded determination can still expect to grow. For those companies, the Great Recession and its new realities present a ”once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Stelter. The third Executive Forum was especially topical and relevant as companies engage in the tough competition for the short supply of highly skilled labor in Denmark. Giving executives real food for thought as they headed into the summer holidays, AmCham joined forces with the Great Place to Work Institute in Denmark, Microsoft Denmark and ATP to explore the perfect recipe for being a great place to work. According to Lars Rohde, ATP’s CEO, it takes making a great place to work a company goal and there are no quick fixes. It takes more than “green apples” and higher salaries, Rohde said. You need to cultivate your talent and show your employees that you believe in creating a world class workplace and ensuring a work-life balance. Microsoft Denmark is no stranger to being a highly regarded workplace, having placed in the top 10 on Great Places to Work annual survey since 2006. For Country General Manager Jørgen Bardenfleth, it’s simple. The secret is commitment. This starts with setting expectations together with the individual employee and making sure that these expectations fit with the overall company strategy. Furthermore, Bardenfleth stressed the importance of praise. “In Denmark, we aren’t as good as they are in the U.S. at praising our employees’ work. But we are getting better,” he said. 2 1 1 Sandeep Sander, Copenhagen Towers, shares some thoughts with former Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen at the 2010 Trans-Atlantic Reception. 2 AmCham Board members Bill Allen, A.P.

In 2010, AmCham exceeded all expectations, delivering more and better networking throughout the year. Below are just some of the highlights. In March, AmCham added a new twist to its 11th annual general meeting (AGM) – the first annual Trans-Atlantic Business Reception. The trade relationship between Europe and the U.S. is something to celebrate, said Stephen Brugger, AmCham’s Executive Director. To further enunciate the point, former Minister for Foreign Affairs Uffe Elleman-Jensen was on hand to give his input, delivered in a witty, provocative keynote speech. More than 120 guests participated in the extensive networking reception that followed. The first annual Spring Reception at the Ambassador’s residence, Rydhave, blossomed with quality networking among its 100 guests. In addition to a warm spring welcome from the Ambassador, Minister for Business and Economic Affairs Brian Mikkelsen expressed his gratitude to the international business community and welcomed feedback and suggestions. The fall months were particularly bountiful for AmCham Denmark networkers, starting in October with AmCham’s annual Ambassador’s Reception and Foreign Company of the Year Award. More than 150 guests gathered for an afternoon of quality networking and to find out which company would be named the 2010 Foreign Company. The mid-term elections offered an excellent opportunity to bring together the diplomatic community and international business leaders to watch as the mid-term election results rolled in during the wee hours of the morning. With big screens flashing minute by minute updates from the polls, U.S. Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton took the opportunity to talk about the election process and explore some of the implications of the possible outcomes. About 300 intrigued participants enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast and interesting conversation. AmCham concluded a great year of networking with a Holiday Reception and Business after Hours in partnership with the U.S. Embassy’s Foreign Commercial Service. In an entertaining, dynamic program two of Denmark’s most well regarded political commentators shared their opposing viewpoints on the possible outcomes of Denmark’s 2011 election. Guests lingered, enjoying the festive holiday networking and an extensive buffet provided by the Hilton Copenhagen Airport. Political commentator Michael Kristiansen debates the possible outcomes of the 2011 Danish elections at AmCham’s Holiday Business after Hours event in December. 1 2 1 Global Blue Danmark wins the 2010 AmCham Cup. 2 Global Blue Danmark horses around on the course. 3 RiskPoint Director & Partner Kenneth Nielsen practices on the driving range. 24 3 Executives Connect at AmCham Cup 2010 25 Prize Sponsors : Agility Logistics Amway Video Blockbuster Airlines Continental Lindsey Cunningham Discovery Nordic Dupont GenRe Hess Hobart Oracle RiskPoint Team Allied After weeks of, at times torrential rains, the skies cleared and the sun shined over Simon’s Golf Club and the 2010 AmCham Cup. Thirty teams joined this year’s tournament – a cross-section of Denmark’s international business community – to network, test their skills, and above all, compete for the coveted Cup. This year’s champion was Global Blue Danmark, with an impressive score of 58. Eversheds came in a close second with 59.2 with Blockbuster Video right on their heels with a score of 59.5. In all, seven teams received prizes for their outstanding performance in this year’s Cup. To top off the awards ceremony, Henrik Thomsen from winning team Global Blue Danmark offered his heartfelt appreciation to the sponsors who make the tournament possible and to AmCham for organizing the event each year. From the “silent shotgun” start through the awards ceremony, the networking was top notch at the 9th annual Cup – so whatever the score, everyone was a winner. Head Sponsor: Thirty teams participate in the 2010 AmCham Cup tournament. 2 1 The U.S. Embassy’s 2010 Independence Day Celebration was one that truly celebrated the strong American – Danish ties. Under a glorious Danish summer sun, celebrating both the 234th anniversary of America’s independence and her own 61st birthday, Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton welcomed more than 1,400 diplomats, Danish and American government officials and top international business leaders for an afternoon of great food, refreshing beverages and plenty of spirit. 26 3 The International Community Connects in Summer and Fall 27 Not even the snow and blistering cold could keep guests away from AmCham’s 9th Annual Family Thanksgiving Dinner. While kids of all ages took their turns on the XBOX Kinect provided by this year’s main sponsors, Microsoft and Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen, their parents – a cross section of the international business community – engaged in lively conversation and enjoyed a beautifully prepared, traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. More than 300 guests enjoy the musical talent of Ms. Tamra Rosanes, a turn on the new Microsoft Kinect, and a traditional family Thanksgiving feast at AmCham’s 9th annual event. 2011 package sponsors: 28 All the right tools – AmCham’s Services in 2010 29 Visibility was the name of the game in 2010 for the members who took advantage of AmCham’s services last year. Ad packages were particularly popular amongst those members looking to get their message out to the extensive AmCham network. With AmCham’s new website attracting more traffic than ever before and a brand new Yearbook design, frequent and high-quality exposure was a given. Event sponsors also benefitted from AmCham’s high-quality profiling opportunities in 2010. Especially noteworthy was AmCham Cup Head Sponsor Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, who raised the bar once again with their commitment and creativity, continuing to provide endless inspiration to us all. SPECIAL SECTION 30 special AmCham Speaks Out 31 section Ensuring Denmark’s Competitive Edge – AmCham Denmark’s Policy Mission On behalf of its members, AmCham uses its persuasive voice to ensure competitive business and investment conditions in Denmark. AmCham’s work is divided into three coordinated areas: Identifying the barriers Danish and foreign companies face Communicating the issues to key decision makers Working together with stakeholders to facilitate solutions This special section examines AmCham’s 2011 priorities. 32 Policy, Advocacy and AmCham With the goal of ensuring a more competitive Denmark that both encourages new investments and helps existing companies to flourish, AmCham Denmark works diligently with both stakeholders and decision makers to resolve issues impacting international business. AmCham’s priorities are driven by the needs and concerns of its member companies – companies that represent many of the largest businesses in Denmark with a majority of foreign direct investment and trans-Atlantic trade. Developed through member surveys and committee work, AmCham Denmark’s policy positions and initiatives are grounded in the best available evidence. They are transparent and free from conflict of interest. A competitive Denmark In September 2010, AmCham Denmark’s annual Business Barometer revealed that 44% of survey respondents have considered or are considering moving investments and jobs out of Denmark. When one delves deeper into the data, it is clear that Denmark’s eroding competitiveness is causing companies, both Danish and foreign, to think twice before investing here. This is troublesome for the Danish economy as it works to regain productivity growth and compete globally for talent and investments. Therefore, in 2011 AmCham will focus on several key factors affecting Denmark’s competitiveness. These are: High cost of doing business Current and future shortage of talent Low productivity growth I am deeply concerned that nearly one out of two of our member companies are considering moving their investments out of Denmark. It is a very bad sign for Danish business and continued growth - also because this trend extends beyond our members to the broader base of companies in Denmark. Based on this, I urge politicians to quickly address the problem. Stephen Brugger, Executive Director, AmCham Denmark 33 34 Denmark’s competitiveness is being impacted by the high cost of doing business It is clear that moving investments and jobs out of Denmark will have a negative impact on Denmark’s global competitiveness. Therefore it is noteworthy that 85% of 2010 Business Barometer respondents who have considered or are considering moving investments and jobs out of Denmark pointed to the high cost of doing business as a factor in their decision. When asked which elements contributed to the highest degree, the most common responses were: Labor Costs Corporate tax rates and the instability in tax policy Operating in the highest taxed country in the world just doesn’t make good business sense. 35 Corporate tax rate and the stability of tax policy Corporate tax rate is becoming an increasingly important factor when companies decide where to locate their activities. This is why many of the countries in Europe, including Denmark, have chosen to lower corporate tax rates in recent years. However, unstable tax policy and retroactive decisions have caused companies to take a much more critical look at Denmark and the latent costs of these practices can have grave consequences to a company’s ability to compete. Examples of such policy are the increased scrutiny on taxation of multinational companies and transfer pricing regulations. Offering a competitive corporate tax rate is only one piece to the package. Based on the effect it has on Denmark’s ability to compete globally for investments and jobs, AmCham Denmark has made the high cost of doing business in Denmark a priority area for 2011. Denmark must set down a plan with clear steps to reduce the marginal tax rate and increase stability and transparency in the area of corporate tax policy. AmCham Denmark urges decision makers to take heed and act swiftly to improve in these areas. Global Benchmark Report 2010, DI, May 2010, pg. 57 The cost of labor in Denmark is one of the highest in the world, caused by a variety of factors with the frontrunner being the high marginal tax rate. When considering investments in Denmark, board rooms across the globe must weigh these costs against the benefits. Unfortunately, it can be a very tough sell. The level of the marginal tax rate is vital for the potential for companies to employ highly skilled employees and attract qualified labor from abroad. Low marginal tax rates are also important as an incentive to work more hours, increase productivity and take measures to continue to improve the level of one’s education and qualifications. High marginal tax rates in Denmark cause salary levels to increase in order to compensate. Furthermore, Denmark scores very poorly in the growth of unit labor costs, i.e. shows tremendous growth, which means that salary increases are greater than productivity development. 1 This has a direct effect on a company’s bottom line and its decisions on where it will choose to invest. In addition to the high marginal tax rate, several factors contribute to the high level of wages and salaries in Denmark including collective bargaining agreements dictating salary levels, taxation of benefits and in general a high cost of living. 1 LABOR COSTS ARE HIGH 36 Denmark needs talent to compete The shortage of talent has been an issue and will continue to be an issue into the coming years. According to the 2010 Business Barometer, 96% of the business community agrees. In fact, 44% of the companies who have considered moving investments and/or jobs out of Denmark state that the inability to attract and shortage of highly qualified workers has played or will play into their decision. Without a qualified labor force, Denmark risks being unable to compete on the global playing field. To secure this labor force, Denmark will need to both look abroad and nurture a home-grown supply. Attracting and retaining foreign talent Attracting and retaining foreign highly skilled labor is one area where AmCham advocated heavily in 2010 with its white paper “The Talent to Succeed” released in January. AmCham focused primarily on resolving short-term issues affecting attracting and retaining highly skilled foreign labor and significant progress was made through the course of the year in several areas. Some of the highlights include: • A change to the “Free School” law was achieved enabling the expansion of international schools in Denmark, opening approximately 350 additional seats in the greater Copenhagen area. However, while this is a step in the right direction, additional capacity is still needed and this will therefore continue to be a focus in 2011. • The time in which non-EU expats must exchange their driver’s license has been increased from 14 days to three months. While a seemingly small issue, this has had a tremendous effect on the on boarding of foreign workers and their ability to become integrated into the Danish society. There is still a long way to go however, and AmCham will continue to monitor progress and push for swift action from the Danish authorities. • The expat taxation scheme was enhanced to remove the three year tax wall that encouraged experts to leave Denmark, interrupting continuity and imposing costs to companies in terms of recruiting new replacements. The scheme was changed from a variable tax five year plan with retroactive consequences should one choose to stay five years instead of a pre-chosen three years, to a flat rate for five years. • Information and services for expats were vitally enhanced via the introduction of the One Stop Shop in four cities in Denmark. Providing access to key authorities and essential information in English has enhanced the experience for foreign workers and reduced the time necessary to become situated in Denmark. This was very good progress, but more is needed. AmCham will continue to advocate for expansions to the offerings, including job counseling and placement services for accompanying spouse. • More highly educated The personal gain in completing a higher education in the form of higher income plays a major role in convincing young people to take further education. Denmark falls dead last in this area2, due primarily to its high marginal tax rates. When considering lifetime net earnings, there is essentially no economic benefit to increasing one’s educational level. Until and unless this changes, a home grown supply of a highly qualified workforce will be compromised and have a tendency to seek work in countries that do offer economic benefits to the highly educated. AmCham Denmark believes that in the short term, highly qualified foreign talent is the answer to ensuring an appropriate labor force. But in order to for Denmark to be successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified foreign workers, it is essential that they are met with a system and structure that make it attractive to work and live in the country. Specifically, the highly qualified workers that companies are employing and recruiting need to see economic and social gains of residing and working in Denmark and at the same time, barriers and bureaucracy in connection to moving to Denmark need to be minimized. • Timely completion Fast completion of tertiary education helps to ensure an increased workforce, higher tax income, and lower public expenditure. This is particularly important at a time when many European countries, including Denmark, are facing a dramatically diminishing workforce due to an aging population. Denmark ranks very low in the number of students completing a tertiary education by the age of 25, which will be a critical factor in Denmark’s ability to produce a sufficient supply of highly qualified workers in the future and to compete for jobs and investments. 2 OECD, Education at a Glance 2009 Long term competitiveness will require home grown competencies One important way that Denmark can ensure a sufficient, high quality work force in the long term is by developing a local supply. This effort must start with encouraging more young people to complete a higher education. But this is not enough. It is also essential that these young people complete their educations in a timely manner and in areas that meet the needs of Denmark’s business community. • Align with business needs Finally, in terms of education it is important that the government work together with private enterprise to ensure that the educations being completed meet the needs of business now and in the future. Availability of these educations and adequate capacity will be important to succeed. AmCham Denmark is currently working on a joint project with Copenhagen Business School to help identify these needs, assess Denmark’s ability to meet them, and propose any relevant action to help Denmark in this area. 37 38 Low productivity growth and the importance of foreign investment to Denmark’s competitiveness Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman asserts that if competitiveness has any meaning, then it is simply another way of saying productivity; that growth in national living standards is essentially determined by the growth rate of productivity.3 If one agrees with this definition, then Denmark could face some significant challenges in maintaining a competitive position in the coming years. In fact, in the period 2000-2009, Denmark realized an average of .58% labor productivity growth, well behind the OECD 30 average of 1.35% over the same period.4 It will be important to improve on this statistic for Denmark to be able to compete for investment and jobs. In fact, when asked in AmCham’s 2010 Business Barometer if the slow growth in labor productivity would negatively affect their company’s investments in Denmark, 51% of respondents answered yes. This is staggering especially considering the majority of these companies are foreign and multinational firms and strong contributors to the Danish economy. Foreign companies in Denmark play a vital role in the Danish economy, but must compete for their share of inter company projects and investments. I can’t emphasize enough the need for Denmark to act swiftly and decisively. We must provide the tools necessary for them to be successful. Stephen Brugger, Executive Director, AmCham Denmark Productivity and Foreign Investment Key Focus for AmCham in 2011 In its June 2009 report, Statistics Denmark showed just how vital foreign companies are for Denmark. Though comprising only 1% of private sector companies, they employ 19% of the private sector workforce and are responsible for 24% of all private sector turnover and value added. Furthermore, foreign companies make up 27% of exports – a key factor in the strength of the Danish economy. Moreover, foreign companies are more productive than Danish companies. According to a Copenhagen Economics report in 20105, foreign investments are one source to strengthen productivity in the Danish economy and promote economic growth for several reasons: 39 •F DI raises the level of productivity because foreign companies average a higher productivity level • There are significant “spill over” effects from FDI so that related companies learn through more competition, knowledge diffusion and clustering, and innovation. AmCham Denmark believes that it is essential for productivity growth in Denmark that FDI be viewed as an fundamental economic tool that can strengthen Danish competitiveness. Foreign companies create jobs, innovate, and are ultimately a decisive factor in creating necessary growth in the future. Therefore it will place great emphasis in 2011 in continuing to remove barriers to FDI, specifically in the areas of talent attraction and retention; the high cost of doing business; and multinational taxation policy. Foreign companies are more productive, innovative and experience higher growth than Danish-based companies. Denmark simply needs a more global outlook in order to grow.
