The region of Copenhagen is the largest educational centre in Scandinavia giving companies access to a unique base of skills from a large labour pool in both Denmark and Southern Sweden. More and more advanced and knowledge intensive businesses locate in the region and benefit from the well-educated labour force and the open and stable economy of Denmark.
