Danske Bank
Copenhagen, Denmark
Danske Bank A/S is a listed Danish commercial bank, CVR61126228, founded in1871 and headquartered in Copenhagen. It provides personal, business, corporate and institutional banking and investment services across its Nordic markets. Its Danske Bank Growth programme is an internal startup and scale-up banking operation, offering specialist advice, cash and liquidity management, and supplementary non-dilutive bank financing for technology, healthtech and green-growth companies. This bank lending is distinct from venture-capital equity investing. The public leadership scope documented here covers eight current Executive Leadership Team members, twelve current board members, twelve Commercial Leadership Team members and sixteen published NordicGrowth contacts; it does not represent the bank’s entire employee base. The current board committees and employee-elected governance roles are qualified. Dansk Vækstkapital fund management sits with the separate group affiliate Danske Private Equity A/S: the first three vehicles transferred from EIFO at the beginning of2025 and IV launched inMay2025. Aggregate historical fund commitments, bank balance-sheet funding and assets under management are not recorded as a direct bank LP fund close. Issuer-primary Templafy evidence identifies Danske Bank alongside Vækstfonden in an aggregate DKK80M venture-debt financing inOctober2019; neither lender is assigned the entire aggregate amount.
