DHI is an independent, international consulting and research organisation.  Our objectives are to advance technological development and competence within the fields of water, environment and health.  We offer a wide range of consulting services and leading-edge technologies and software.

Our world is water, and our unique knowledge of water environments represents more than 55 years of research and real-life experience from over 140 countries.  We strive to make this knowledge globally accessible to clients and partners through our solutions and software. DHI’s specialist consultancy services involve physical and numerical modelling studies, and our hydraulic modelling software, MIKE Powered by DHI, is a world-recognised brand.

DHI has about 1000 employees, of whom about 80% are university graduates holding MSc and PhD degrees primarily in hydrodynamics, coastal hydraulics, hydrology, chemistry and biology and computer sciences.
