Where Danish and American business meet.
The American-Danish Business Council is a network for Danish companies in the United States and American companies in Denmark. Founded in 2001 and based at the Royal Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The American-Danish Business Council brings Danish and American companies together with the people who shape the business relationship between our two countries.
We are a non-profit association, chaired by the Ambassador of Denmark and run from the Royal Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C. Our aim is simple: more trade and investment between Denmark and the United States.
In practice, that means briefings on policy and market developments, receptions at the Ambassador’s residence, introductions to relevant partners and a direct line to the Embassy. Members bring their priorities, and we help open the right doors.
Close to the Embassy
Members are the Embassy’s closest business partners, with direct access to the Ambassador and to the Embassy’s advisers and network in the U.S. and Denmark.
What we do
Roundtables and dinners at the Ambassador’s residence on the issues that matter to members, from life sciences to security and technology. Engagement with members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill. And the annual events that bring the community together: Constitution Day, Flag Day, the Member Dinner and the Christmas Reception.
