Business without barriers

Cross-border companies

Flensburg's geographical and cultural proximity to its Danish neighbors gives local companies a special opportunity to operate across the German-Danish border. And that, of course, on both sides.

Against this background, it is hardly surprising and all the more exciting for the students of the European University as well as the 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 as well as intercultural focus. In this way, students on the International Management course, for example, gain direct insights into the economies of both countries during their studies - a real competitive and locational advantage for graduates and employers alike.

The cross-border companies include, among others:

Danfoss Silicon Power GmbH

Danfoss Silicon Power is an independent company of the Danish Danfoss Group based in Flensburg and a technology leader in the field of customized power modules for wind, solar, automotive and industrial applications.
