Pier47 is an office building located on the Langelinie Pier in Copenhagen, where Rainmaking Transport is creating a space for maritime start-ups. It’s beautifully located at the quayside, but the most beautiful things are inside, it’s the corporates’ digital setups that have been given the freedom to work outside the traditional organisation chart – and the maritime start-ups where the sky is the limit of what they are going to achieve.
