DENMARK IN INDIA

Denmark’s exports to India have increased significantly over recent years. In 2005, exports totalled almost INR 50 billion, and the upward trend continues with a growth rate close to 50% annually. It makes India one of Denmark’s four largest markets in Asia.

The Trade Council of Denmark helps Danish companies on the Indian market. The Trade Council is represented in India as part of the Danish Embassy in New Delhi and by the Trade Commision of Denmark in Bangalore. The increasingly close collaboration between Danish compaies and the Indian IT and biotech environments in Bangalore og Chennai has made the Trade Commisioner’s office in Bangalore an important part of the relation between the Danish and Indian corporate sectors.

While the Trade Council of Denmark’s offices have the primary task of helping Danish companies to export to India, India’s increasing important role as an outsourcing country also means considerable access to Indian companies wishing to get into contact with Danish companies. The Trade Council of Denmark also represents Invest in Denmark, an organisation which attracts foreign investment to Denmark. In the last couple of years, several Indian IT companies have established businesses in Denmark.

“One of the tasks to which we devote increasing resources is matching Danish and Indian companies seeking to enter partnerships,” says the head of the trade department at the embassy in New Delhi, export counsellor Ole Lindholm. “And Indians know that Danish companies are interesting. Not just in IT and biotech, but also regarding energy and environment, as well as luxury goods. Although there are still custom barriers of varying size, India is becoming more and more internationalised, and that is good for trade.”
