Message from the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires a.i. cooperation we see between the U.S. and Denmark is essential to global health and prosperity. The United States remains one of the most open and competitive economic landscapes, as demonstrated by the fact that the U.S. continues to be Denmark’s top export destination despite the pandemic. I encourage you to consider virtually attending the SelectUSA Summit in June, a flagship event to learn more about investing in the U.S. and to connect with key decision-makers at both the federal and state/local levels.

What a difference a year makes. As the coronavirus pandemic shook up the world in ways that may only become clear years from now, it also reinforced a truth: overcoming the most difficult challenges of our time requires the kind of cooperation, ingenuity, trust, and entrepreneurial spirit we see every day in the U.S. – Danish relationship. For example, combating climate change will require expanding and establishing new economic partnerships between innovative U.S. and Danish firms in the green economy. Whether through electric vehicles, advanced battery technology, artificial intelligence and new discoveries in science and technology, the coming years will be a seminal moment that can demonstrate how the kind of

The American Chamber of Commerce is a key partner for the United States Embassy in Denmark. For more than 22 years the Embassy’s Commercial Service team has worked seamlessly with the AmCham team to help strengthen our vital economic relationship. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Commercial team at the Embassy to help support your efforts to establish or grow your trade and investment with the United States. Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. Stuart Dwyer

“Overcoming the most difficult challenges of our time requires the kind of cooperation, ingenuity, trust, and entrepreneurial spirit we see every day in the U.S. – Danish relationship.”

Message from the Danish Ambassador to the U.S. With the onset of Covid-19 vaccinations, and a gradual return to normalcy, we look ahead to greener pastures. We look forward to the coming years and the next challenge at hand; the green transition. The US administration, led by President Biden, is ready to take on this challenge, and we are more eager than ever to work together towards a greener world. At the very heart of this transition are Danish and US companies, who inspire us by their expertise and innovation to succeed.

The year 2020 will be remembered as a year of substantial alteration to the ways we interact and engage with one another. We were met with the full force of a centennial pandemic leading to great implications for our societies while causing disruptions and economic losses.

With this in mind, I appreciate the ongoing partnership between AmCham and the American Danish Business Council and look forward to meeting AmCham’s member companies again in 2021. Ambassador Lone Dencker Wisborg

However, in the midst of the crisis, we also witnessed a renewed strength of compassion and cooperation among people and companies, a so-called ‘samfundssind’. A willingness to meet the pandemic head on and endure. Both Danish and US companies have shown great abilities to withstand, and the transatlantic economic relationships continues to thrive as evident by the growth of Danish exports to the US in 2020.

Yearbook 2021 7

Message from the CHAIRMAN gatherings, AmCham succeeded in providing valuable and engaging activities for its members and showed remarkable agility in times of difficulty. In March, the AmCham Team skillfully transitioned to a 100% virtual events platform, bringing its members critical information on the crisis as well as inspiration, insight and thought leadership throughout the pandemic. Looking forward, with a new U.S. administration, the coming year presents a unique opportunity to strengthen both the transatlantic relationship and showcase Denmark as a leader for sustainable and innovative solutions to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Even during a year of unprecedented disruption, AmCham Denmark continued to advance its mission of representing the interests of U.S. and international companies in Denmark and assisting Danish companies in their efforts to access the complexities of the U.S. market. Looking back on a year marked by months of working from home and restrictions on in-person

Message from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Welcome to AmCham’s 2021 Yearbook and Membership Directory. This publication is rich with examples of the accomplishments that took place during this past year – a year filled with unforeseen challenges unleashed by the Covid Pandemic.

New initiatives included online events with Harvard Business Review as well as a U.S. Election series with the Nordic AmChams.

With campaigns already in full swing at the start of the year, there was plenty of speculation about the outcome early on. Our election coverage included events with both Danish and American experts providing great coverage for our members.
