A recent study conducted by the Association for Elite and Power Studies has highlighted the significant influence of the business sector within the Danish power elite. The study outlines which organizations and individuals are crucial in shaping the political and economic landscape of Denmark. It suggests that the connection and influence these entities wield are substantial, effectively giving them a leading role in decision-making processes.

The findings reveal that Denmark's two largest business organizations, DI (Danish Industry) and Dansk Erhverv, rank first and third, respectively, among the best-connected organizations in the country. This dominance underscores the critical role that organized business interests play in entering the corridors of power where vital economic and political discussions occur. Additionally, three major companies from the private sector are listed among the top ten most central organizations, further indicating their profound impact on governance and policy-making in Denmark.

The implications of this study are significant, shedding light on the interconnectedness of business and governance in Denmark. With such powerful organizations holding sway over important decisions, concerns about equitable representation among various societal groups may arise. This study calls for a re-examination of how power is distributed and exercised in political spheres, as the presence of dominant business interests can overshadow other voices in the democratic process.
