3. Why do Danish companies enter (Southern) Africa?
This area is very attractive to offshore / energy and oil companies
This area is very attractive to fish feed / fish farming due to the climate
That´s why companies like Mærsk and Falck are active in or looking at these markets
That´s why companies like Aller Aqua and Royal Danish Fish are active in or looking at these markets
As a large economy in Africa, South Africa is attractive to all companies having focus on B2C segment
Other Danish companies: ….Skov, Orana, Borum, Bo Concept, Danish Knowhow, Desmi, Cowi, Rambøl, Niras etc. We estimate approx Danish companies are looking at Africa at the moment
That´s why companies like Cult, Harboe, Pandora, are active in or looking at these markets
