Shanghai ChemPartner employs over 2000 researchers and scientists.
The name of the Danish unit will be Chempartner Europe and it will be the company’s entrance to the European market.
»Copenhagen was chosen because the region already offers an acknowledged biotech industry within Medicon Valley with pharmaceutical companies and a large number of small companies – and then it is easy to establish a company in Denmark. Moreover, the Chinese appreciate that the Danes are fast and efficient,« the future CEO in Denmark Peter Halkjær-Knudsen said.
