*De Minimis declaration: As our State-of-Denmark talent attraction campaigns are co-financed by the EU’s Social Fund, we must ask you to sign a De Minimis declaration, as the free service is considered a form of state aid by the Danish Business Authority (ERST). The value of the campaigns is estimated at DKK 26,000 by ERST. A company in Denmark can receive EU grants of up to EUR 300,000 (approx. 2.2 mil. DKK) over three years (current financial year + 2 years back– 2024, 2023, 2022).
