Entrepreneurship on par with other metropolitan regions

In the Triangle Region, approximately 4.5 new companies were established per 1,000 inhabitants in the area in 2023. This is on par with most other metropolitan areas in Denmark but is surpassed by the Capital Region, which has the significantly highest establishment rate in Denmark. Thus, the inhabitants of the Triangle Region are about as good at establishing new companies as the inhabitants in the areas around Odense, Aarhus, and Aalborg.

Over the past 10 years, the establishment rate in the Triangle Region was at its highest in 2021. However, in the last two years, the trend of starting new companies has declined somewhat. A similar picture is seen in the other metropolitan areas.

Newly established companies per 1,000 inhabitants

The survival rate for new companies in the Triangle Region is on par with companies in the metropolitan areas around Aarhus, Odense, and Aalborg. In the Capital Region, there is a tendency for fewer new companies to survive after 3 and 5 years than in the other urban areas – however, this is offset by the very high establishment rate in the area.
