The **Danish Chamber of Commerce** (Danish: *Dansk Erhverv*, lit. 'Danish Enterprise') is the network for the service industry in [Denmark](/source/Denmark) and one of the largest professional business organisations in the country. It was headquartered in [Børsen](/source/B%C3%B8rsen) in [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen) until the 2024 fire and has additional offices in [Aarhus](/source/Aarhus), [Brussels](/source/Brussels) and [New York City](/source/New_York_City).[1]

## History

The Danish Chamber of Commerce was founded on 1 January 2007 as a result of a merger between Dansk Handel & Service and the Chamber of Commerce (previously Handelskammeret, HTSI).[2]

The first CEO was Lars Krobæk. He was replaced on 1 April 2008 by Jens Klarskov, who was in turn replaced on 22 June 2018 by former Minister and former member of the Danish Parliament, [Brian Mikkelsen](/source/Brian_Mikkelsen).[3][4] On 1 January 2024, [Freja Brandhøj](/source/Freja_Brandh%C3%B8j) was appointed head of entrepreneurship policy.[5][6][7] The Danish Chamber of Commerce owns [King Christian IV's Old Stock Exchange](/source/B%C3%B8rsen) building on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, where its headquarters resided until the [April 2024 fire](/source/B%C3%B8rsen_fire). The building is expected to have been rebuilt by 2029.[8]
