NEWS FROM THE LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY
How can local businesses capitalise on the opportunities presented by one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? This is the question that an upcoming excursion from Bornholm to Fehmarn will focus on, as local businesses are invited to join an inspirational trip.
In many ways, Bornholm's business community is already doing well. And the future looks particularly bright with the energy island. However, there is a need for a comprehensive and long-term business strategy for the island, according to the regional chairman of Confederation of Danish Industry.
On 1st February 2026, Tilflytterservice Bornholm marks its 10th anniversary. Since its launch in 2016, the service has helped people considering a life on Bornholm to navigate jobs, housing and everyday life – and make the move more manageable and secure.
Following several years of uncertainty, the signature that the business community on Bornholm has long awaited has now been put in place. Denmark and Germany have concluded the final agreement on Energy Island Bornholm, and the world's first energy island is thus now moving from vision to action.
Energy Island Bornholm is now moving from vision to reality. Søren Møller Christensen, Baltic Energy Island, and Christa Lodahl, Business Center Bornholm, discuss the project's status, future perspectives, and local opportunities.
It is not only a gift for potential newcomers to be helped into the Bornholm job market by Tilflytterservice; it is also a major asset for the island's businesses to receive a supply of qualified labour.
A project between Destination Bornholm and Business Center Bornholm is to develop the island's tourism by making Bornholm a preferred destination
The ambitions are high when DTU and Baltic Energy Island are scheduled to move into the old power station in Rønne in three years' time. By then, the historic building will have been converted into an innovation house.
