COWI A/S
COWI A/S is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Denmark under 44623528, and its current status with Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register) is active. The company was incorporated on 6 June 1972 and lists its registered address as Kgs.Lyngby, Denmark. 1 shareholder is on record for COWI A/S, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register) and was last updated on 25 September 2026.

Directors and officers of COWI A/S
The Bestyrelsesmedlem of COWI A/S currently on record is Jens Brendstrup; 29 of the 133 officer records shown for COWI A/S are current appointments, filed with Danish Business Authority — CVR (Central Business Register). The remaining 92 records shown (Knud Bergholt, Christian Busch and 81 others) are former appointments that have since been resigned.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Data availability
Those 25 subsidiaries span Denmark, India, South Korea, Belgium, Tanzania, Greenland, and 12 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Two of the 25 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
