🚀 Markets and algorithms – Hafnium Investment sets up HQ in Copenhagen   Quantitative investment strategies are transforming financial markets in cities like New York and London. Now, Hafnium Investment, led by founders Victor Brassart Clausen and Alexis Dubois, is bringing this innovation to the Nordics with the launch of the first quantitative macro systematic fund in Scandinavia, right here in Copenhagen.   We recently sat down with Victor and Alexis at their new office in Bredgade, Copenhagen, to talk about their journey. The space, small but dynamic, is buzzing with activity. With Victor coding and analysing data across 4 screens and Alexis negotiating partnerships, it's clear that this isn't just another start-up — this is a fund with serious ambition.   When asked why they chose Denmark, Alexis noted: “One of the main reasons, we set up here was the incredible Danish talent pool. But also, the market seems to be shifting regarding their hedge fund allocations. Just a couple of years ago, it wasn’t in the cards to imagine a Scandinavian pension fund allocating quantitative strategies, but this is currently shifting.”   Mia Munck Bruns, International Business Advisor at Invest in Denmark welcomes Hafnium Investment to Denmark: “By understanding Hafnium Investment’s business case as the first quantitative macro systematic fund of its kind in the Nordics, Invest in Denmark has been able to assist them from their very first considerations in coming to Denmark. As their strategic focus on certain assets classes with a geographical focus can benefit from the region’s strong talent pool and growing appetite for advanced quantitative strategies, we are delighted that Hafnium Investment has chosen to open their office in Copenhagen!”   👉 Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e496aNkc  🌱 Are you ready to explore Denmark as a business destination?

🚢🌍 #SMAGIC workshop: How to Develop Green Maritime Globally?   During SMAGIC 2024, Invest in Denmark hosted a workshop in partnership with Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, where public and private stakeholders explored the potential of green fuels and their impact on decarbonising the industry.   The session, opened by Anne Hougaard Jensen Hougaard, Director of Green Diplomacy & Climate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, focused on three critical themes: - Regulation + IMO, - Green Fuels, - Energy Efficiency   Key takeaways we took home from the workshop:   🔋 Energy Efficiency: The industry needs a holistic approach to reduce CO2 emissions—not just looking at engines, but at the entire lifecycle of ships. Improving efficiency across the board is essential for hitting the 2050 carbon reduction goals.   💡 Green Fuels: Transitioning to green fuels like methanol and hydrogen is costly, but essential. As Mathias Aarup Berg from European Energy stated: "We must act now to replace 300 million tons of oil with sustainable alternatives".   📜 Regulation & Collaboration: The industry needs to push policymakers for better framework conditions and more government tenders. Collaboration across the entire value chain is crucial to accelerating the green transition in shipping.   Ready to be part of the change? Denmark is committed to leading this charge and we invite international companies to join us in shaping a sustainable future for global maritime.
