At Asia House, our ambitious youth strategy is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and empowerment among young people in both Denmark and Asia.
Drawing on our rich history with the East Asiatic Company and our expertise in strengthening ties between Denmark and Asia, we are building a transformative platform focused on education, culture, and talent development.
Our Strategy Aims To:
Our goal is to address pressing global challenges while harnessing the immense potential of the youth demographic.
Asia House, with support from Orient’s Fond, is leading an initiative to bridge the gap between Danish education and Asia’s maritime sector. With Asia handling around 60% of global container traffic and dominating the shipbuilding industry, understanding this region is vital for Denmark.
This project aims to connect these two worlds, increasing awareness and engagement among students and educators across Denmark.

By creating deeper connections between Denmark and Asia, we ensure that future generations can navigate and contribute to an increasingly globalized world.
