Denmark among the best countries for talents
Denmark excels in growing talent
Denmark is the highest-ranking Nordic country and the second-best country in the world for attracting and retaining talent, according to the IMD World Talent Report 2017. The report assesses 63 different countries and aggregates performance in three overarching categories: investment and development, appeal and readiness. Denmark scores high in all three categories.
This year’s report once again confirms that Denmark is a leader when it comes to developing home-grown talent as well as attracting and retaining highly-skilled foreign professionals. Easy access to skilled labour is crucial in today’s increasingly competitive knowledge-based economy – and Denmark offers just that.
