Forward (Danish: Fremad) was a Danish political party founded in November 2019 by Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille and Christina Egelund, after they in October left the Liberal Alliance.[1][2] Ammitzbøll-Bille was chairman and Egelund vice chairman and political spokesperson.[2] Both had been leading figures in Liberal Alliance prior to the June election, that saw Egelund losing her seat in the Folketing, while Ammitzbøll-Bille was reelected.[1]

Forward characterized itself as a centrist party based on liberal values, and saw itself as the centre-right version of the Danish Social Liberal Party. The party was pro-EU, and advocated for the abolition of two of the Danish opt-outs. They supported Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, chairman of Venstre, as prime minister. Their name was inspired by the French La République En Marche!.[1]

On 8 October 2020, Simon Emil Amitzbøll-Bille and Christina Egelund announced that Forward was disbanded.[3]
