Business without barriers

Cross-border companies

The geographical and cultural proximity of the Flensburg Fjord to its Danish neighbors gives local companies the special opportunity to operate across the German-Danish border. On both sides, of course.

Against this background, it is hardly surprising and all the more exciting for the students of the European University and Flensburg University of Applied Sciences that they also benefit from the cooperation in the region. Both educational institutions cooperate with Danish universities in many areas of study and also conduct research with an international and intercultural focus. In this way, students on the International Management course, for example, gain direct insights into the economy of both countries during their studies - a real competitive and locational advantage for graduates and employers.

Cross-border companies include, among others:

Danfoss Silicon Power GmbH
