The hair comb. The long boat. Denmark's Vikings, while known mostly for their bloody conquests, were also clever innovators. They built their version of technology out of the materials that were available to them a thousand years ago, and created localised versions of items available elsewhere, like the magnetic compass and the portable tent.</p> <p>Today, Danish companies know that innovations and solutions are the best way to build wealth in a small country with few natural resources. Denmark's educational system helps: Danish children are brought up to challenge their teachers and parents, and to focus on teambuilding and creative approaches to problems.</p> <p>That spirit of teambuilding carries over into working life. Denmark has an exceptional tradition of public-private collaboration when it comes to research and development.  </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="module-ABDEDB07EE58453291B256D3F5C1E222" class="module module-focustext module-focustext-factbox module-id-ABDEDB07EE58453291B256D3F5C1E222 module-colorscheme-none module-colorscheme-has-inner " > <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="module-focustext-factbox-body module-body module-body-id-ABDEDB07EE58453291B256D3F5C1E222 module-colorscheme-brandcolor-2 " > <h2 class="module-title-container"> <span class="module-title"> Did you know </span> </h2> <div class="module-focustext-content"> Skype and Google Maps were invented by Danes.  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div id="module-68F4E70D5DD84BD787FBA7840EA8C059" class="module module-text module-text-default module-id-68F4E70D5DD84BD787FBA7840EA8C059 module-colorscheme-none " > <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="module-body module-text-body module-body-id-68F4E70D5DD84BD787FBA7840EA8C059 " > <h2 dir="ltr" style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0pt 0px;">Patents within life sciences, food, and environmental science</h2> <p style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px 0px 30px;">Denmark has a high number of patents relative to its population. Most of the new products are in the fields of life sciences and pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, environmental science, and food and agriculture.</p> <p style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px 0px 30px;">The Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is one of the largest companies in Scandinavia in terms of market value, and has held a leadership position in diabetes care for decades. It supplies half of the world's insulin for diabetics. </p> <p style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px 0px 30px;">Innovative pharmaceutical products are also produced by Lundbeck and LEO Pharma, two other Danish companies, as well as a wide range of newer and smaller biotech companies.  </p> <p style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px 0px 30px;">Meanwhile, Denmark's traditional strength in agriculture has become the basis for a thriving food science sector. Companies like Chr. Hansen, Arla, and Novozymes work to create safe, healthy food for a growing global population. </p> <p style="color: #333333; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0px 0px 30px;">And environmental science is being pushed into the future by Danish companies like Grundfos and Danfoss, which create water control and heating systems that help minimise environmental impact.  </p> <a rel="noopener
