Having a deep understanding of diverse cultural and environmental contexts enables the company to deliver tailored and ready-to-implement solutions, whether it is for vast metropolitan areas or small rural communities. While facilitating daily bicycle mobility remains integral to the company’s projects, Copenhagenize has also cultivated expertise in cycling tourism and sports to expand its impact across multiple sectors.
In short, Copenhagenize inspires and advises local authorities and governments to make cycling possible, accepted, and attractive. We strive to cultivate a community of cycling enthusiasts, advocates, and experts around us.

Copenhagenize's Core Values
At Copenhagenize, we embrace the values of efficiency, versatility and practicality, inspired by the bicycle. We reflect these values as much in our corporate identity as we do in our work.
Led by a woman, Copenhagenize also strives for diversity and inclusivity at every level. That is why we have structured our company around a gender-balanced and international team of talented individuals. We believe in equity as the main principle to guide the company’s development, and we apply it from the internal management decisions to every project we work on.
In an effort to align our internal practices with the principles we advocate for in our projects, we've obtained a Bicycle-Friendly Employer certification through Employeur Pro-Vélo and the Qualiopi certification to attest to the quality of our educational activities.
