Denmark struggles to retain internationals, with 64% leaving within five years and only 28% of international graduates staying post-graduation. In this episode, Brooke Black, Conrad Molden, and Derek Hartman dive into why so many expats leave Denmark, the cultural and systemic barriers they face, and what it means for Denmark’s aging population and economy. This episode explores how the €7 billion Fehmarn Belt Tunnel project is attracting internationals to Lolland and the municipality’s innovative Job-to-Partner program, which helps trailing partners integrate and find jobs. Could this be a model for national change? Is Lolland’s approach the key to turning the tide or does Denmark need a cultural shift to make internationals feel at home?


Join Brooke, Conrad, and Derek for a look at big questions about language barriers, hiring biases, and how Denmark can create a more inclusive society to retain the talent it needs. Enjoy a discussion packed with data, personal experiences, and ideas for the future of expat retention in Denmark.
