Partnerships & collaboration

At Port of Aalborg, you will find a network across companies that all share the same conviction: the optimal way to achieve innovation, growth and green transition resides in collaboration. Our mission is to make it attractive for new and existing companies to locate in the Port of Aalborg Business Park, thereby further developing strategic partnerships and relationships in the area.

Strategic partnerships

Port of Aalborg is a major driving force behind the establishment and development of strategic partnerships with municipal authorities, utilities and business enterprises and networks.

We also work closely with leading knowledge institutions such as Aalborg University, UCN and Tech College. This affords us access to the latest knowledge and research, enabling us to develop effective solutions for both existing and emerging issues in innovation, production, logistics and not least green business models.

Collective engagement

Green business models are also central to Network for Sustainable Business Development North Denmark and Business Network 9220. Business Network 9220 is a strategic partnership between nearly 200 companies in Aalborg East and is behind major development projects such as Environment++ and Industrial Symbiosis North.

For us it is a matter of collective engagement in the community. It is about creating collective development through added value for both the individual company and the wider community. This benefits all of us in the long run.
