Under the headline “Partnering for Green Transition”, His Royal Highness The Crown Prince on Monday, 2 November 2020 will deliver the opening speech when a digital business promotional campaign focused on The Netherlands takes place. It will be the first Danish digital promotional campaign ever with royal participation.

The opening speech will be held in the House of Industry in Copenhagen, with ministers and business leaders participating. The Netherlands minister of economic affairs and climate policy, Eric Wiebes, and two panel participants will take part via a big screen. This part of the business promotional campaign will be livestreamed to participants in both The Netherlands and Denmark, who after the opening speeches and panel debate will take part in three online roundtable discussions on the business sector’s solutions for green transition of the energy sector. Participating guests can visit the stands of 19 leading Danish companies by way of the promotional campaign’s virtual 3D platform.

The promotional campaign is focused on increasing Danish-Netherlands cooperation on green transition in the energy sector. In addition to The Crown Prince, foreign minister Jeppe Kofod, climate, and energy and utilities minister Dan Jørgensen, Netherlands economic affairs and climate policy minister Eric Wiebes and a delegation of 19 Danish green companies take part. These will be matched on the Netherlands side by Netherlands officials and private sector decisionmakers from the energy industry.

The business promotional campaign is focused on green transition in the energy sector, particularly Danish solutions for district heating, energy efficiency and sustainable energy. An actual visit to The Netherlands will be held when that once again becomes possible.
