It takes innovative ingredients to meet world demand for safe, healthy and delicious foods. Danish companies have a 14% share of the global ingredient market – exporting as much as 98% of the ingredients they produce.
Denmark has driven ingredient innovation ever since the 19th century, when the first pioneering work took place in the Carlsberg Laboratory, the
Chr. Hansen Labs and the chemical laboratory at the
University of Copenhagen. Today, our ingredient sector is a global frontrunner in areas such as enzymes, emulsifiers, cultures, natural food dyes, flavours and whey protein.
A lot of that innovation is the fruit of close research cooperation between businesses and universities. And it’s all in easy access when you establish a base in Denmark.
