Danish 5.7 DENSOL EXPO event
Over the past three decades, Denmark’s economy has grown by around 78% - with nearly stable energy consumption.
We hereby invite you to meet some of the persons and experts who have made this development possible in Denmark.
In conjunction of EXPO 2010, Shanghai, the Danish regions will present to you a wide variety of examples of the Danish energy model. You will get to know – and not least – discuss how this model has become a reality at local and regional level: how it has been planned, how citizens have been involved, how companies have worked with local authorities, and how research and development institutions have cooperated.
In relation to the workshops and presentations, we also present to you some on-line solutions as well as practical projects and energy technologies that have made this model a success.
Most importantly, you will get a chance to bring in these Danish front-runners into you network for future projects and development.
Date: May 7th, 2010 from 9.30-18
Venue: Future Explore Pavillon, Lecture Hall, 3 rd floor
