Bornholm turns obstacles into opportunities
Bornholm located at the very east of Denmark, the Baltic Sea and is also called rocky - or sunny island. Bornholm's main attraction is the extremely varied and beautiful scenery with large forests, dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches in the world. Nature gives natives piles of snow, torrential waves, and severe storms. But it also gives the island piles of sunny hours, beautiful beaches and unique attractions. This environment draws people to the island, attracting new visitors and makes tourists flock to and return year after year.
Bornholm turns obstacles into opportunities
There are those who believe that technology, design and creativity belong in the big cities. That large problems should be solved by large companies in large offices. But Bornholm has, as a society, decided to show the opposite: That innovation, solutions and development can happen anywhere, anytime, by anyone.
Leading the way and showing that the future belongs to those who invent it

Everybody can change the world
It is often said that Bornholm is Denmark in a nutshell. Bornholm lets you experience much of what Denmark has to offer: hills, green and lush farmland and lots of forest. And, as the only place in Denmark, you can also find cliffs on Bornholm. On the south coast lies Dueodde, with wide, sandy beach with fine sand, one can muster in Denmark.
Producing local food
Bornholm is eatable. The island's restaurants and food producers are acknowledged for their high quality, and take their culinary base in forest, coast and sea.
Involving the individual
We believe that the involvement and the opportunity to influence decisions locally is the right way to support the vision of a sustainable island community.
