The roots of Danish Management Group go back to 1986, when Mr. Frantz Longhi founded Dansk Energi Management, which started implementing major energy projects in Denmark. The company focused primarily on designing, planning and implementing Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency projects in Denmark, where successful energy projects for approximately EUR 75 million were implemented in the first couple of years.

Dansk Energi Management

Since Dansk Energi Management gradually became more involved in international energy projects, the company name was changed to Danish Energy Management, the oldest division of Danish Management Group.

In the beginning of the nineties, the company conducted feasibility studies, assessments and energy action plans and supervised several Energy Project Management Units on behalf of the European Commission in several Central and Eastern European countries. Since then, it has expanded its scope of operations as well as its geographical boundaries.

Danish Management – Monitoring and Evaluation as the second competence

As Danish Management Group's procedures within project Monitoring and Evaluation were developed and improved for the European Commission, the company expanded its competencies. As a result, Danish Management was born.

In the beginning, Danish Management monitored and evaluated different types of energy projects in Russia and the Newly Independent States. Progressively, this division became directly involved in several large-scale worldwide assignments, which comprised monitoring and evaluation of projects on all continents and in all sectors.

Danish ICT Management – ICT as the third competence

ICT is not only a key tool that enhances development, but it can also improve efficiency and effectiveness of management and implementation of projects in all sectors. At a very early stage Danish Management Group foresaw the importance that ICT has for development in developing countries. As a natural next step in the expansion of competencies in the company, Danish ICT Management was created.

In 2001, Danish Management Group acquired the Danish company Metrocomia A/S, which developed web solutions and provided internet consultancy. Metrocomia had grown very fast since its establishment in 1994. When Danish Management Group took over it, Metrocomia was in the need of both financial and managerial support.

After the takeover, Danish Management Group’s excellent managerial skills entirely transformed Metrocomia’s financial situation changing a considerable annual deficit into a remarkable turnover over a period of just two years. For more detailed information, please visit Metrocomia's website: http://www.metrocomia.co.ug At Danish Management Group we are aware that ICT can increase the impact of development aid and favour knowledge exchange and project sustainability. In 2003 to further strengthen its expertise in the ICT sector, Danish Management Group acquired the Danish company Injection A/S, specialised in content development and content management systems (CMS).

At Danish Management Group, ICT allows us to exchange experiences and best practices from one country to another, from one sector to another and from one project to another.
