About Greenland Invest
Greenland Invest aims to develop and enrich Greenland and its shareholders, within sectors of our expertise.
The purpose of the company is to manage and operate companies and develop its extensive project portfolio, by connecting private and institutional investors to the untapped resources of Greenland.
Greenland Invest provides stability, certainty and clarity to operate substantial projects in Greenland, by advising its clients on paramount issues, such as political, cultural, and infrastructure issues.
The company is privately held and has project portfolio of 20+ projects, in areas such as FMCG, energy, seafood and innovative water solutions for the growing international water market.
Because of the diversity of the portfolio, we are in daily contact with both private and public entities within and outside of Greenland. This enables us to update and share knowledge promptly on current affairs within all relevant sectors.
Greenland Invest has offices in the capital of Greenland, Nuuk, and the capital of South Greenland, Qaqortoq.
