Summary

81% Informative

Kalundborg is the main production centre for weight loss drug Wegovy and diabetes drug Ozempic.

Parent company Novo Nordisk has invested more than $8.5bn in the town - nearly the entire GDP of Monaco .

But the town faces many challenges, from rundown schools and low incomes to many children being overweight.

A new highway is also being built to help ease the town's chronic congestion - but getting people to live here will be the real fix for that. Students at the Gymnasium think the town is at something of a crossroads. "In five years , I think the town [will have] grown quite a lot - I hope for a multi multicultural town," says Anna K. "If that is so, then I might consider moving back.".
