> Many of the Danish software companies have contracts with e.g. banks and government organisations, that makes them nervous about taking in people from outside the EU.

I actually meant outside EU. I do not know of any places that would exclude foreigners due to government contracts. I see no lack of foreign hires within fintech and medical, and the usual government contract dumpsters (KMD, Netcompany, that sort) also hire foreigners. I myself work in a place that employs a lot of engineers from India on-site for example, and I know many companies like it.

Foreigners from within EU will have easier paperwork and living situation though.
