This prevents us from using each other to increase growth,” Clausen said. The lack of Danish-German business partnerships and municipal cooperation is the first of three main issues that the former Danfoss CEO intends to tackle in coming years. His aim is to create a common jobs market, increased trade and strengthened business partnerships between the German and Danish cities of Odense, Sønderborg, Flensburg, Kiel and Hamburg. The transport advantages are obvious, and Rambøll’s calculations indicate that there are grounds for expecting an increase in the exchange of labour, ideas and trade between Funen and South Jutland. But we’re working on it,” said Clausen said, noting that Sønderborg Airport is the closest airport for approximately one million people, a figure exceeded in Denmark only by Copenhagen Airport.
