The most recommended time is "9:00-11:00"
The most recommended time for business meetings in Denmark is "9:00-11:00". Danish work culture emphasizes efficiency and balance, and the start of the workday at 9:00 is considered to be a productive time. Many employees have finished coming to work at this time and are not yet deeply involved in their work, so it is easy to adjust schedules and a system is in place to concentrate on meetings.
In addition, Danish people tend to be punctual, and it is common for important meetings and decision-making to be completed in the morning. Particularly between 9:00 and 11:00, participants are highly focused and eager to speak, enabling constructive and efficient discussions. Since it is held in the morning, there is little contact from outside and the risk of interruptions during the meeting is low, so you can expect a meeting with rich content.
There is also plenty of time before lunch, and it is easy to move directly to the execution phase after the meeting, which is a major advantage in emphasizing the speed of business. This time period is especially ideal for situations that require concentration and judgment, such as project progress confirmation, internal and external meetings, and strategic discussions. In order to maximize business results and productivity, we strongly recommend setting up meetings between 9:00 and 11:00.
