The Danish fintech industry is craving global fintech talents and access to highly qualified FinTech employees. It is crucial for the Danish fintech sector, that it is fast and easy to recruit new fintech talents and to up- and reskill experienced financial employees, if the sector is to create new, attractive and high wage jobs, generate growth and preserve future fintech unicorns in Denmark.
