Focus & Priorities

Advocacy work aimed at attracting foreign direct investments and ensuring a non-biased procurement policy by highlighting the need for and proposing ways to support:

– Discuss and offer business sector expertise on key defense issues and defense trends of relevance to the Transatlantic Partnership and EU policy-making as part of the overall AmCham position.

– Ensure that new policy initiatives continue to foster innovation and avoid bias against American defense corporations.

– Work to enhance predictable and stable framework conditions as a prerequisite for attracting long-term defense investments into Denmark.

– Organize events and roundtables with a broader set of audiences to raise the profile of Danish-US collaboration on defense investment and procurement.
