It is with great pride and honor that I take over the torch from Thomas Andersen, who has been leading the Danish Chamber of Commerce and our members the past 5 years. And what a historical year to carry forward the traditions of the chamber and represent our members: This year the Danish Chamber of Commerce celebrates 25 years anniversary and the board of directors are determined to document and share the eventful journey of the chamber: right from it's incubation in 1996 till now - and pay a tribute to everyone who has been a part of the Danish business community throughout the years - especially to those of our members that continue to support the Danish Chamber and our community in these times of trial and hardship.

While the world is changing, it remains true for us and our members that the business agenda remains the same. We are here to add value. While the pandemic is raging, we found ways to connect and collaborate with people we never thought we would be able to meet: through numerous webinars we learned that the world of opportunities is even bigger than we imagined and now the largest challenge is to digest and make sense of these opportunities and figure out how we can share, so our members can benefit in the most meaningful way.

The first task at hand is to map out our extensive network and brief our members about the sector work done within these and hopefully connect and match relationships that will add value. The second task is to get to know all our members, your business strategy, so we can represent you the best way possible in our representative seats in Eurocham, International Business Committee, Intercham, Danish-Chinese Business Forum, Denmark-Asia Business Alliance and the Nordic Community in Hong Kong. Combining the tasks will create a good foundation for our future work in the chamber.

The above undeniably is a lot of work - and I am thankful to the board of directors who have already spent numerous of hours driving the above projects to deliver the best support to our current and future members.

I am a firm believer that we grow and develop in tough times and when we are pushed to the brink of our comfort zone.

Now is the time to grow and become better than we ever were.
