Patriotism and Capitalism – Experiences from Denmark and Ukraine

On Denmark’s Constitutional Day, Ukraine House in Denmark and Udsyn & Indsigt invite you to a conversation on patriotism and capitalism through Danish and Ukrainian experiences. For the second year in a row, we come together around June 5 to reflect on questions that feel increasingly relevant across Europe.

The evening will include perspectives on patriotism in Danish business history – from J.C. Jacobsen to the Mærsk family – presented by Martin Jes Iversen, Academic Director at CBS and MPA Professor in Maritime Business (SMU), alongside reflections from Nataliia Popovych, Chairperson of Ukraine House and entrepreneur, on the role of Ukrainian business before and during wartime. The discussion will explore how companies respond when societies face a crisis, and whether patriotism changes the responsibilities of capital.

The programme also includes a discussion and an audience exchange moderated by Tenna Lundum Iversen, a Chairperson of Udsyn & Indsigt.

📅 Friday, June 5
🕡 18:30-21:00
📍 Ukraine House in Denmark, Strandgade 27B, Copenhagen

We look forward to an evening of conversation on business and the choices societies make in uncertain times.
