As the voice for international business in Denmark, AmCham is committed to building a competitive business environment in Denmark, and to doing its part to minimize barriers to international trade. 3 Managing Editor: Therese Oliver Writers: The AmCham Team Layout & Design: Woer+Gregorius Printing: Team Rapo Contact Information: AmCham Denmark, Christians Brygge 26, 1559 Copenhagen V, Denmark, Phone (+45) 33 932 932, Fax (+45) 33 932 938, mail@amcham.dk, www.amcham.dk Photos: AmCham Denmark, Pamela Juhl and istock / The American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in this publication.

American businesses created more than three million jobs in the United States over the past two years, proving once again it is our innovative and productive companies that create the jobs and wealth we need. Fortunately, we have these types of companies in both the United States and Denmark – and the best examples are the members of AmCham Denmark. The Embassy is proud to partner with AmCham in promoting U.S. businesses in Denmark. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently set forth her vision of “Economic Statecraft” noting that the U.S. needs “to forge an ambitious agenda for joint economic leadership with Europe.” AmCham is an important part of that effort. We are pleased that, upon our nomination, AmCham Denmark was able to participate in the Secretary’s Global Business Conference in Washington, D.C. in February 2012. We look forward to continuing over the coming year the effective collaboration between the Embassy and AmCham to promote opportunities for American companies in Denmark. During the past years, we have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, including hosting a number of successful events at Rydhave, the American Ambassador’s residence, where together we gathered well-known and interesting guests, including ministers and opinion leaders from business and the public sector. In addition to the great company, these events offer the opportunity to showcase U.S. companies and their contributions to Danish prosperity and productivity. We appreciate AmCham’s mission of working with Danish partners to ensure Denmark remains among the best and most inviting countries for American companies. In order to succeed, innovative American businesses seeking to expand, export, and create jobs must be accorded equal treatment ”We appreciate AmCham’s mission of working with Danish partners to ensure Denmark remains among the best and most inviting countries for American companies.” American Chiefs of Mission at Rydhave Minister Monett B. Davis (1945) / Ambassador Josiah Marvel, Jr. (1946-1949) / Ambassador Eugenie Andersen (1950-1953) / Ambassador Robert Coe (1953-1957) / Ambassador Val Peterson (1957-1960) / Ambassador William McCormick Blair, Jr. (1961-1964) / Ambassador Katherine E. White (1964-1968) / Ambassador Angier Biddle Duke (1968-1969) / Ambassador Guilford Dudley, Jr. (1969-1971) / Ambassador Fred J. Russel (1971-1972) / Ambassador Philip K. Growe (1973-1975) / Ambassador John G. Dean (1975-1978) / Ambassador Warren D. Manshel (1978-1981) Ambassador John L. Loeb, Jr. (1981-1983) / Ambassador Terence Todman (1983-1989) / Ambassador Keith L. Brown (1989-1992) / Ambassador Richard B. Stone (1992-1993) / Ambassador Edward E. Elson (1993-1998) / Ambassador Richard N. Swett (1998-2001) / Ambassador Stuart Bernstein (2001-2005) / Ambassador James P. Cain (2005-2009) / Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton (2009-) 7 and fair opportunities in the countries where they operate. AmCham is a driving force in supporting these ideals in Denmark. AmCham’s annual Foreign Investor Summit is but one example of its steadfast commitment to promote a business friendly environment which focuses on improving Denmark’s ability to attract and retain foreign companies. The United States also benefits from this international business cross-pollination. The American market is open to products, ideas, and inward investment in ways that few others are. Since taking office, President Obama has emphasized his unequivocal openness to both foreign and domestic investors. For example, in 2011 he created “SelectUSA” to assist foreign companies as they invest in our country and create American jobs. AmCham shares this vision and established its Transatlantic Company of the Year Award to recognize the value Danish companies, such as 2010-winner Novo Nordisk and 2011-winner Grundfos, create for both our nations when they invest in the United States. Despite the constant relocation of assets in the global economy, the U.S. remains the largest destination for foreign direct investment in the world: in 2010, FDI into the U.S. economy increased to $228 billion from $153 billion in 2009. This is a trend we are confident will continue because there is no better place to do business than the U.S. As we press forward with President Obama’s and Secretary Clinton’s vision, I look forward to our continued partnership and cooperation.

The progress that AmCham has made is just the start. AmCham’s 2012 policy agenda will continue to have “international competitiveness” as a central theme, focusing on the important role played by multinational companies’ investments in and out of Denmark. There has never been a more important time to have a strong collective voice speaking on behalf of international business and there has never been a more important time for the Chamber to deliver events, knowledge exchange opportunities and policy work that assists you, our members, to secure and to grow your business.

No other nongovernmental business organization in Denmark has this niche focus which makes us unique and relevant for key decision makers, and we are being confirmed in the access we are achieving and the work that we are accomplishing. This yearbook is rich with examples of the access and accomplishments that took place during 2011. AmCham Denmark has made it a priority to identify issues affecting our member companies, communicate these issues to decision makers and work towards sustainable solutions. Our decision to cooperate with CBS to document the important role of Multinational Enterprises in Denmark provided AmCham with an excellent platform to engage decision makers and stakeholders. Already in February 2011, AmCham’s board met with the leaders of the two opposition parties, Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Villy Søvndal - communicating preliminary data from the report. In the fall, The Chamber’s policy platform was further strengthened with the release of our 2011 Business Barometer and the HR Committee’s white paper “The Talent to Compete”. These, together with the CBS report formed the foundation for a successful Foreign Investors Summit in November, which featured the new Minister of Trade and Investment, Pia Olsen Dyhr. With a new Danish government in place, 2012 will present the Chamber with opportunities to engage new ministers and communicate our key policy messages. Therefore, we must continue to make it our priority to understand the issues facing our members and to be the voice for these companies in working to influence key decision makers and legislation impacting international companies in Denmark. Therese Oliver Events and Member Services Manager AmCham Denmark’s office by the Copenhagen Harbor 11 On a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of the warm, working relationships we enjoy with our members, and the valuable relationships we share with our key partners and colleagues. These boost all our efforts and are precisely why we look forward to building on our progress year after year.

Already in February, AmCham members met with S & SF party leaders, Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Villy Søvndal. The roundtable discussion focused on the needs and issues of foreign investors and multinationals in Denmark. As 2011 was an election year, this outreach was particularly critical. In March, AmCham held its Spring Member Reception at Rydhave, with special guest, Justice Minister Lars Barfoed. Ahead of the reception, Minister Barfoed joined the AmCham Board of Directors for a roundtable discussion focusing on competitiveness and foreign investments. The informal discussions touched on several key issues, including Denmark’s challenges with low labor productivity growth and high cost of doing business. Minister Barfoed then joined Ambassador Fulton and AmCham Chairman Kim Østrup in greeting the many guests as they arrived for this highly anticipated afternoon reception. The timing was perfect, since Ambassador Fulton had just returned from Washington DC, where she accompanied the Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen for his personal meeting with President Obama the previous day.

Relevant topics and timely information is a true value-added for AmCham members. The executive forum series opened with a bang when, in January, AmCham teamed up with Iron Mountain at the U.S. Embassy to discuss the complexities of navigating the digital age in the event titled ‘Avoiding the Digital Dark Ages.’ In a more and more digitalized world, it can be difficult to differentiate between which data is worth saving, and which data need to be saved according to Danish, European and international law, as well as what kind of footprint we want to leave for the next generation. Iron Mountain CEO Søren Eltorp emphasized the importance of this topic by underscoring that there are literally exabytes of electronic records and billions of paper documents archived in Denmark alone. Storage is one issue, but even more important is access to the stored data, which must be secure, cost effective and easy. Even Historian and Head of Section for Digital Archiving at Danish National Archives, Jan Dalsten Sørensen discussed that the data needs to survive for upwards of 20 years. Talent Mismatch” – The Right People in the Right Place at the Right Time. How can it be that with an 11% unemployment rate in the Euro Zone, that 2.8 million jobs go unfilled? And in the U.S. with a 10% unemployment rate, 1.8 million jobs go unfilled? According to David Arkless, President of Corporate and Government Affairs for Manpower, Inc., the answer is simple: Supply and demand are out of sync creating a global talent mismatch. The executive forum highlight for 2011 focused on the talent issue by bringing in Manpower’s global expert on labor market trends, David Arkless. On May 17th, more than 100 executives gathered at Mærsk’s headquarters in Copenhagen to hear about the “Global Talent Mismatch” from Arkless, a world-renowned expert on labor market trends with widespread experience in helping countries develop strategies for their labor markets. Following brief welcoming remarks from Bill Allen, Maersk’s Group Senior Vice President HR, David Arkless delivered a thought provoking keynote on the ”Global Bill Allen (Senior Vice President HR, A.P.

Connections That Add Value 23 The AmCham network is a highquality network for making valuable connections and building solid business relationships. 2011 was no exception, with great networking offered throughout the year. Spring was in full bloom with AmCham’s 2nd Annual Spring networking reception at Rydhave, where more than 100 guests networked with Justice Minister Lars Barfoed, along with U.S. Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton and many other high level guests. The importance of the transatlantic relationship was underscored at AmCham’s second annual 1 Transatlantic Business Reception. The reception was held in April at host Lundbeck’s Danish headquarters in Valby. U.S. Ambassador Laurie S. Fulton was on hand to present the prestigious award to Danish pump manufacturer, Grundfos. The annual AmCham award highlights the important contributions and positive impact of Danish companies actively investing in the United States. Prior to the award ceremony, Ambassador Fulton addressed the audience, stressing the importance of the transatlantic relationship, which generates 2 close to 5 trillion dollars in total commercial sales per year. On the same note, AmCham’s Executive Director Stephen Brugger pointed out that Danish companies already employ nearly 27,000 people in the U.S., and have invested more than 5.2 billion USD. A fantastic networking event in the fall was AmCham’s annual Ambassador’s Reception and Foreign Company of the Year Award, where foreign companies’ achievements in Denmark and abroad are highlighted. More than 150 guests gathered for an afternoon of quality networking at Copenhagen Rådhuset’s “Festsal” and to find out which company would win the prestigious award. Siemens took the prize this year. 1 From left: Finn Lauritzen (DECA), Merete Juhl (Invest in DK), Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr, US Ambassador Laurie S.

Fulton hosted more than 1,400 friends from the worlds of politics, diplomacy, business, culture and education for a celebration of American Independence at the Ambassador’s residence, Rydhave, north of Copenhagen. The exclusive afternoon reception featured great food and refreshing beverages made possible by generous in-kind donations and sponsorship from several AmCham Denmark members. In her remarks, Ambassador Fulton focused on the close relations between Denmark and the U.S. She drew parallels between the histories of the two countries, noting how the two countries have enriched each other through migration, visits and cultural exchange.

SPECIAL SECTION 30 special AmCham Speaks Out 31 SECTION A More Productive and Competitive Denmark – AmCham Denmark’s Policy Mission AmCham Denmark represents a wide range of companies actively investing in Denmark and the United States. As the voice for international business in Denmark, AmCham is committed to building a competitive business environment in Denmark. At the core of AmCham Denmark’s policy agenda is international competitiveness, focusing on the important role played by multinational companies’ investments in and out of Denmark. AmCham’s policy work is divided into three coordinated areas: • Identifying barriers facing international companies • Communicating issues to key decision makers • Working together with stakeholders to facilitate solutions Multinational Enterprises – How important are they for the Danish Economy? 32 In May 2011, Copenhagen Business School (CBS) released a report documenting the importance of multinational enterprises to the Danish Economy. The report was funded by AmCham Denmark and co-authored by CBS Professors Jan Rose Skaksen and Torben Pedersen. Background The Danish economy is facing significant challenges, including a shrinking workforce and low growth in labor productivity, which have made Denmark poorer relative to other countries. This report explores the potential for multinational enterprises (both foreign multinationals with subsidiaries in Denmark and Danish multinationals with subsidiaries abroad) to improve these conditions – an area which has been more or less neglected in the Danish debate. Key Findings All measures indicate that multinational enterprises play a significant role in the Danish economy. Although Foreign-owned multinationals comprise only 1,2% of Danish companies, they generate more than 18% of private sector jobs as well as nearly 25% of Danish exports. Danish multinationals are also making substantial investments abroad, including over 1,3 million employees, which is nearly equal to the total number of private sector employees in Denmark. Kim Østrup (IBM) presents multinational report findings Additionally, numerous studies from a range of countries conclude that multinationals are generally more productive than non-multinationals. Workers with previous experience from multinational firms tend to transfer their know-how to Danish firms, thereby increasing their productivity. However, there has been an increasing gap between inward and outward foreign direct investments (FDIs). Until 2003 the two were basically identical, but by 2009 the stock of outward FDIs was nearly 50 percent higher than the stock of inward. This gap between inward and outward FDIs is particularly large within the area of manufacturing. 33 Multinational EntErprisEs in DEnMark… Value added, investments and Jobs! Torben Pedersen and Jan rose skaksen / Copenhagen Business sChool Since foreign owned firms seem to be important for productivity and growth, the gap that has arisen between outward and inward FDIs is worrying. This indicates that Denmark has to reinvent its attractiveness – either by becoming more attractive to manufacturing firms or by becoming more attractive in other industries. Inward and Outward FDI for Denmark 1999-2009 DKK billion “Only 1.2 percent of companies in Denmark are foreignowned. However, these companies employ more than 18 percent of the total number of employees in the private sector - and create 21.5 percent of the value added and nearly 27 percent of the Danish export.” 950 FDI Gap: DKK 275 Billion 850 750 650 550 450 350 250 1999 Outwards 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Source: Danmarks Nationalbank (2011) Inwards Regarding Talent - “Denmark Needs at National Talent Strategy” 34 Denmark needs a national talent strategy to increase productivity and regain competitiveness. With the decline in the European workforce over the coming years, forecasting the skills needed and doing what it takes to ensure an adequate future supply of talent should be an absolute priority for governments. The winning countries in the global competition will be those that address the talent issue proactively to strengthen their economies. A major key to economic growth is increased labor productivity and the best way to increase labor productivity is to be better at matching individual skills to current and future jobs. Therefore an efficient national economic strategy, aiming for growth, demands a national talent strategy to support it. DA nm Ar k – talent som konkurrenceparameter “The key to economic growth is increased labor productivity and the best way to increase labor productivity is to be better at balancing supply and demand in the workforce. Denmark has a relatively successful economy. However, complacency now is a formula for the disaster of the economy of this country. The systems you have are inadequate for the next 10-15 years. Denmark needs to change them now and there is no better time for change than with a new administration.” David Arkless, President of Corporate and Government Affairs, Manpower Inc. Although we have seen improvements in conditions for developing, attracting and retaining highly qualified labor in Denmark, further improvements are required. A national talent strategy will ensure a more strategic perspective and secure the best value of future investments in education and FDI incentives, help companies succeed and grow, and ultimately lead to a more competitive Denmark.

The survey looks at each company’s prior investments and reviews their expectations for 2012. The key findings of the survey were: 36 •T he high cost of doing business in Denmark is by far the biggest challenge for multinationals. Of the companies surveyed, 78% of those who are considering moving jobs and/or investments out of Denmark, point to high costs. •A lthough 47% of the surveyed companies expect to increase their Danish investments in 2012, 53% of the companies indicate that they have considered moving their investments outside of Denmark. •4 0% of the companies consider Denmark’s ability to attract foreign workers as poor or very poor. A competitive tax system and openness to foreigners are important areas to address. A New Government On October 3, 2011, a new Danish government was formed, with Helle Thorning-Schmidt (Denmark’s first female Prime Minister) at the helm. The new Government consists of three parties: · “S” The Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) · “R” The Danish Social-Liberal Party (Radikale Venstre) · “SF” The Socialist People’s Party (Socialistisk Folkeparti) According to the Government’s platform publication, “A Denmark That Stands Together” the SRSF-Government plans to address several key issues raised by AmCham. AmCham Denmark’s Priorities Tie Into The Government’s Platform The government promises to launch a reform program designed to create growth. They intend to facilitate investments which enhance welfare, education and research. Productivity is a top priority for the government. The Government Platform states: “Productivity must be increased so as to ensure Denmark rises towards the top among the OECD countries.“ Productivity Commission The government is setting a precedent for strong productivity growth throughout society, within export, domestic market sectors and the public sector. The government has stated: “Denmark must once again move up the rankings. We must lie close to the OECD countries that have the highest productivity. The Government will therefore set up a productivity commission to identify the causes of the low productivity since the mid-1990s, and on this basis come with specific recommendations that can enhance productivity in Denmark.” AmCham outreach to the new government in 2012 intends to influence the content and results of the Productivity Commission. Foreign direct investments The Government platform also states that: “Denmark must also become better at attracting foreign investments. Investments in Denmark from foreign investors lie below the average for the rich countries. Action must be taken to rectify this situation. We must therefore create better framework conditions for investments by foreign companies in Danish companies.” The government backed up its words with action, creating a new Ministry for Trade and Investment, and appointing Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr to spearhead . 37 38 AmCham outreach to the new Government Pia Olsen Dyhr, Minister of Trade and Investment. Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr at AmCham’s Foreign Investor Summit. white paper “The Talent to Succeed,” but underlined there is much more work to be done. “The winner of the global competition will be the country that proactively manages the talent challenge, and Denmark needs a coherent national talent strategy,” Mark stated. AmCham engaged Minister Pia Olsen Dyhr in AmCham’s 2011 Foreign Investor Summit on November 1. In her keynote address, the minister underscored the government’s commitment to the business community: “That I stand here today in the capacity of Minister of Trade and Investment, is a concrete testament to the government’s commitment to increased foreign trade and investment. We want to give you the best conditions to achieve higher growth and create more jobs.” Among the government’s initiatives for ensuring growth and competitiveness is the establishment of a productivity commission aimed at mapping out underlying factors that have caused productivity growth to lag behind, and come up with concrete solutions. Other priorities include promoting higher education, increasing the priority of R&D, and reducing administrative red tape for businesses. The importance of the multinationals, The Talent Challenge and the need for pre-conditions for attracting foreign direct investment. During the Summit, AmCham Chairman Kim Østrup outlined the importance of the multinationals, and Charlotte Mark, Managing Director, Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen, presented highlights from the new AmCham HR Committee white paper entitled “The Talent to Compete ,” which was unveiled at the summit. Mark acknowledged the small but important steps that had been accomplished since the release of the HR Committee’s January 2010 Torben Möger Pedersen, CEO for PensionDanmark and a member of the Copenhagen Business Task Force, shared the findings and recommendations from the Task Force, which was launched by Copenhagen’s Mayor Frank Jensen in March 2011. One of the main objectives of the Task Force is to increase Copenhagen’s annual growth to an average of 5% of GDP through 2020 – which will benefit all of Denmark. “To accomplish this, the capital region must have the right pre-conditions for attracting foreign investment, including being accessible to international companies and their employees,” said Pedersen. AmCham’s three key recommendations to the Danish Government - Looking forward The three key recommendations, which the Danish government must address to attract and retain foreign investments: •C ommit to making foreign investments a long-term governmental priority. • Create a national talent strategy linked closely to Denmark’s investment strategy • Ensure stability, predictability and competitiveness in corporate tax legislation. Specifically regarding the tax issue, the new Government stated in its platform that “The tax must support the competitiveness of Danish companies operating in competitive markets. Denmark must be an open country that utilizes the opportunities afforded to us by globalization.” 39 ”The idea behind the Education and Integration Fund was an opportunity for AmCham to give something back to the community for the positive reception we have received in Denmark during AmCham Denmark’s first 10 years.” Stephen Brugger, Executive Director 40 AmCham’s Education and Integration Fund As the leading representative of international business in Denmark, AmCham bears the responsibility to not only speak out on issues that affect its members, but also to contribute to effective, long term solutions to these issues. It is our belief that two of the biggest challenges facing Denmark lie within the areas of Education and Integration. Therefore, on the occasion of AmCham Denmark’s 10th Anniversary Celebration (May 2009), the Board of Directors established an Education and Integration Fund, endowed with the amount of DKK 500,000 - for initiatives enhancing Denmark’s ability to compete globally for both foreign investments and a quality workforce in the future. More specifically, the aim of the fund is to help, encourage and support efforts by institutions, organizations and/or individuals focused on providing better opportunities to acquire or enhance skills, improve educational levels, and/or nurture talent in workforce. AmCham Denmark – Fulbright Cooperation In 2011, AmCham entered into a strategic cooperation with the Danish Fulbright Commission to select the first beneficiaries of AmCham Denmark’s Education and Integration Fund: About the Danish Fulbright Commission Dr. Timothy Hatten and Stephen Brugger at Entrepreneurship Reception at Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College The Danish-American Fulbright Commission is based on the ideas of J. William Fulbright, American Senator. The program’s main objective is to promote friendship and understanding between the USA and other nations. The Commission is established by executive agreement between the United States and Denmark in 1951. Fulbright places a great deal of emphasis on scholarship recipients who have both professional and human potential as well as leadership skills in a very broad sense.

Anne Berg Villumsen, Fulbright Grant Recipient “I am amazed, honored and happily surprised to be the first recipient of AmCham Denmark’s Fulbright grant, Thank you!.” Anne Berg Villumsen In June, Copenhagen University graduate student Anne Berg Villumsen was awarded a grant of DKK 85,000 for graduate studies in “Global Health and Environment” at the University of California Berkeley (September to June 2012) 42 MEMBER MEMBERSHIP | Levels & Benefits 43 SHIP Membership 44 Membership AmCham Denmark membership is open to both major corporations and small businesses that share a common interest in the mission of the Chamber.
