Increased focus on Foreign Direct Investments in Denmark

Focus on the regulation of foreign direct investments (FDI) has become a relevant topic for all stakeholders involved in the Danish M&A market since the European FDI Regulation came into effect on 11 October 2020.

The Regulation concerns foreign direct investment into a relevant market subject to a screening mechanism on the grounds of security or public order to protect critical sectors, technologies and infrastructure, such as energy, transport, data and finance (see further below).

National rules are often aimed at specific sectors, such as forestry, mining, oil and gas, aircraft and pharmaceuticals, which may vary from country to country.
