City of Aarhus

Aarhus boasts a unique position in the global wind energy market and it is home to some of the world’s biggest manufacturers of wind turbines, e.g. Vestas. It constitutes the world’s most advanced knowledge center and in the years to come the city will reinforce this position by establishing Navitas: a new and interdisciplinary innovation centre within energy- and environmental technology.

Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city and the economical centre of the Central Denmark Region. The city has a catchment area of 1,2 million people within one hour and is well-connected to Copenhagen and Hamburg. The presence of a strong international university - top 100 in the world – with more than 40,000 students makes Aarhus a knowledge city with easy recruitment possibilities for all kind of job profiles.

Aarhus is a strong player in the market of sustainable energy. It has an array of suppliers and subcontractors, covering the entire supply chain. Wind energy enjoys solid political backing on local, regional and national levels and the wind cluster has a long legacy of cooperation between manufacturers, suppliers, scientific communities and public authorities.

This makes Aarhus an unparalleled knowledge hub and gathering point for the wind industry. As such, it will play a vital role in developing the wind energy systems of the future.
