Fact: Copenhagen is part of Scandinavia
Some months back I wrote a piece that put much needed focus on the importance of protecting local production, the local heroes. One way of doing so is making sure that these local makers are linked to a description that embrace everything that we are known for – We call that the Scandinavian legacy.

The best known example of this being the tale of how the shepherd boy David killed the giant warrior Goliath some 3000 years ago. Gladwell’s book came to my mind as just the right answer to all those politicians, experts and opinion leaders who for years have... [ ]
