BUSINESS PROFILE

The Lyngby-Taarbæk municipality is characterised by a strong, creative and diverse business life. In the coming years the local focus will be on knowledge-intensive companies and the retail industry.

Our business services are geared to the challenge of globalisation. The creative resources of the local community, rooted in international level education, research and innovation, enable us to face a globalised world with confidence.

Academic strength
That the municipality is thus characterised is due primarily to the presence of the Technical University of Denmark. Close collaboration between educational institutions and businesses enables market players to tap into a large pool of knowledge and research. This collaboration will be further strengthened and, based on research by the Technical University of Denmark, new start-ups and entrepreneurial businesses will provide the impetus. One example of the effectiveness of this collaboration is Scion-DTU, Denmark's largest research park, which helps entrepreneurs turn great ideas into sound businesses. We are dedicated to converting results in basic and applied research into new knowledge-intensive innovations and business opportunities.

We are dedicated to developing our position as an international educational centre and we offer a wide range of basic and upper secondary level education, training within industry and higher education.

Development and improvement
Continuous business development calls for a flexible and highly developed infrastructure. Fast and easy Internet access is also a focal point for infrastructure improvement. We are also focused on improving our transportation system through innovative traffic solutions and improved parking.

Environmental considerations are a key factor in our business development plans and are applied to transport solutions waste handling and environmental approvals whenever new businesses locate to Lyngby-Taarbæk.
