History

The Danish Chamber of Commerce was founded on 1 January 2007 as a result of a merger between Dansk Handel & Service and the Chamber of Commerce.
The first CEO was Lars Krobæk. He was replaced on 1 April 2008 by Jens Klarskov, who was in turn replaced on 22 June 2018 by former Minister and former member of the Danish Parliament, Brian Mikkelsen. On 1 January 2024, Freja Brandhøj was appointed head of entrepreneurship policy. The Danish Chamber of Commerce owns King Christian IV's Old Stock Exchange building on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, where its headquarters resided until the April 2024 fire. The building is expected to have been rebuilt by 2029.
