Why Copenhagen

Did you know? Copenhagen and Denmark is recognised for its achievements and innovations across a variety of fields. Here are some of the highlights from Copenhagen and Denmark.

Copenhagen is a perennial favourite in Monocle’s top 10 – it has taken the top spot a record three times – and the Danish capital is riding high again this year. What’s its secret?

Copenhagen is a frontrunner when it comes to adopting sustainable solutions and the city has one of the world's most ambitious climate policies - with a goal of being the first carbon-neutral capital city by 2025. As a result, it is almost impossible not to have a sustainable meeting in the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

In 2017 Copenhagen Airport has been ranked the best airport in Northern Europe and ranked third in Best Airports 2019: 30 to 40 million passengers by Skytrax Awards. The airport’s efficiency, punctuality, and well-connected flight routes make it easy for congress delegates to travel to Copenhagen.

Denmark takes the top spot as one of the least corrupt countries in Transparency International’s global study of public sector corruption.

Copenhagen has consistently been ranked as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world and in 2017 and 2019 Copenhagen was ranked number one in the Copenhagenize Bicycle Friendly Cities Index. In 2016, bicycles even outnumbered cars in Copenhagen.

When you hold a meeting in Copenhagen there is a good chance that communication is smoother than in most other destinations. The English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) consistently ranks Danes some of the best non-native English-speakers in the world.

In Denmark you will meet some of the happiest people in the world. Danes have several times been ranked the happiest people on earth by United Nation’s World Happiness Report and the happy Danes still rank among the top.

Denmark tops the list of the world’s most peaceful countries. In 2017 and 2019 Denmark was ranked 5th most peaceful country in the world by Vision of Humanity's Global Peace Index.
