New Study: Large Potential from Reducing Barriers to Financing in Danish Firms

New Study: Large Potential from Reducing Barriers to Financing in Danish Firms

April 13, 2015

Copenhagen Economics has conducted a new study on the investment climate in Denmark, this time focusing on how small and medium sized Danish companies can increase growth and innovation. The study is published today at a high level conference hosted by Axcelfuture.

 

The study includes a thorough analysis of the current barriers to growth which includes lack of scale, limited access to venture capital, and various ‘soft’ framework conditions.

 

It also presents a catalogue of initiatives to improve Danish firms’ ability to carry out productive and profitable investments.

 

The main suggestions of the catalogue are to

  • Reduce the costs of investments
  • Implement a more investor friendly bankruptcy act
  • Activate the Danish pension funds
  • Appoint a corporate tax commission
  • Reform some of the ‘soft’ framework conditions, primarily within education, research, and public procurement.
