Carlsberg Research Center
The main task of the laboratory is to provide a
scientific basis for malting, brewing and fermenting
operations, which is as complete as possible.
The laboratory is currently involved in:
· investigation of grain species applicable for
brewing through chemical, biochemical,
physiological, genetic and gene technological
methods;
· investigation of genetic conditions and other
conditions for yeast;
· investigation of the substances in the grain
species, especially proteins and carbohydrates,
and the reaction and conversion of these
substances during brewing operations.
The Carlsberg Laboratory receives approx. DKK
25 million from external sponsors for the implementation
of research projects.
At present, the Carlsberg Research Center is
investigating how best to commercialise the
biotechnological research results of the past
decades in a possible future Carlsberg Bio-
Incubator.
Carlsberg Properties
Carlsberg Properties handles the Group’s property
portfolio outside the actual production facilities, i.e.
especially the development and building on the
approx. 400,000 m 2 Tuborg area overlooking the
sound between Denmark and Sweden in Hellerup,
north of Copenhagen.
At present, three major office buildings with a
total floorage of 38,000 covering the domicile of
among others NCC Danmark, Microsoft and icl
invia are under construction at Tuborg Nord,
which constitutes almost half of the large area.
When these three major office buildings have
been completed, the non-residential part, which
covers about 80% of Tuborg Nord is completed.
The remaining 20% of the Tuborg Nord area will
be used for housing construction and the first
phase with construction of 40 high-quality flats
has started. The flats are sold as condominiums
and since they have already been sold, the
second phase with 46 high-quality flats has just
been initiated. 75-100 flats still remain to be built
before the entire Tuborg Nord area is completed.
In co-operation with the city of Gentofte, a
competition for ideas regarding the development
of the area of Tuborg Syd was set up. The
subsequent local district plan was finalised with
the adoption by the local council of plan no. 178
