Ambassadors put Aalborg on the Map

The competition for investments, talents, and jobs is intense. From a global perspective, Aalborg is a very small player, and naturally, the resources available to promote the city are limited. Nevertheless, we are experiencing significant interest in Aalborg. Some of the reasons can be attributed to the local factors - the attractive location and geography. However, we also attribute part of the credit to the excellent "free" publicity from Aalborg's dedicated ambassador network.
