"It is crucial for a global company such as Novo Nordisk to be able to bring in the brightest minds from around the world to work for enterprises headquartered in Denmark. But to attract and retain the best of the best we know that it is not only the job that needs to be appealing, but the whole 'package' has to work. It is not only a question of tax and financial issues, but just as much about whether their children are able to attend an international school and their spouse can be granted a work permit or driving licence without too many problems," explains Lars Christian Lassen, senior vice president, Corporate People & Organisation at Novo Nordisk.

Large Danish companies are currently facing these challenges on a daily basis which is why it will be the main task of the consortium to focus on possible solutions and to coordinate its plan with the many public and private initiatives and schemes on offer.
