Denmark's Publicly-Backed LPs

as of 2026

The public LP ecosystem is influential, unstructured and difficult to navigate. This edition continues the series, mapping the publicly-backed institutions behind Danish venture.

* Figures cover Denmark-headquartered funds that have received public-LP backing, from any LP in this report. The “headquartered abroad” figure is narrower on purpose: it counts only Denmark-domiciled LPs, so supranational backers such as the European Investment Fund are excluded from it while still counting above.
