COPENHAGEN: The Foreign Ministry said that the foreign investment created 1,250 workplaces in Denmark last year and many companies helped to create new positions, spread across 47 different investment projects.
“This is one of the best results ever, and the positive trend looks set to continue with initiatives like Apple’s investment in Viborg,” said Mogens Jensen, the trade and development minister. Most of the new jobs have been created in the IT, cleantech and pharmaceutical industries. Those industries account for almost 1,000 of the new jobs spread across 29 different projects. Among the projects, Argentina is investing billions in biogas projects in Tønder, and China’s Wuhan Hi-Tech is supporting organic egg production in Horsens.
