1) Why have you chosen Copenhagen and the Medicon Valley region as the location of your new office?
The ease of doing business: In fact, the World Bank testifies Denmark a ranking as No. 4 here. Denmark also tops the list of the world’s least corrupt countries once more on the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).
Denmark is an innovation hot spot: It scores number one on the European Innovation Scoreboard 2023, closely followed by Sweden and Finland. This is – in my view – a result of the Danish government’s foresight and initiatives for fostering an innovative infrastructure for the European and Danish healthcare systems and patients. Their firm dedication led to the 15 million DKK public tender 2020 for establishing a new notified body, which TÜV SÜD won.
In addition, Denmark is one of the most digitalized countries in Europe: For TÜV SÜD a benchmark and a blueprint for the future development in other European countries how to offer an efficient and transparent collaboration process with our customers.
