What Denmark's fast-track scheme covers

The Fast-track Scheme is a Danish immigration pathway designed to reduce the time and complexity involved in bringing skilled workers from outside the country into the Danish labour market. Before any company can use the scheme to recruit internationally, it must complete a formal certification process with SIRI.

The 982 companies on the published list span a wide range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals and energy to technology, logistics, food production, architecture, and financial services. Major Danish firms such as Novo Nordisk, Vestas Wind Systems, Grundfos, Carlsberg, Pandora, Maersk Tankers, ECCO, Coloplast, and Rockwool are among those certified. International companies with Danish operations, including Google Denmark, Microsoft Danmark, Apple, Samsung, and IKEA, also appear on the list.

Universities, research institutions, hospitals, and public sector bodies are included as well, including Aarhus Universitet, Aalborg Universitet, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, and Region Hovedstaden.

It also provides transparency around which organisations are actively approved to bring in international talent under the scheme.

The list includes companies of varying sizes, from large multinationals to smaller specialist firms, reflecting the breadth of Denmark's labour demand across industries. Sectors with notable representation include offshore energy, maritime services, life sciences, engineering consultancy, and information technology.

SIRI oversees the certification and renewal process, ensuring that companies on the list continue to meet the criteria required to participate in the Fast-track Scheme.
