A Green Window of Opportunities is Open for Chinese/Danish Cooperation

By State of Green | [email protected]

29 June 2012

Along with a Danish business delegation’s visit to Beijing this week, the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen Mr. Frank Jensen’s signing of a sister city agreement with Beijing emphasizes this window of opportunities and calls for more cooperation between the two countries.

Danish companies, municipalities and organisations already possess the sustainable solutions that are demanded in China, especially within urban development. A representative from Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee says China can’t reach CO2 neutrality as fast as Copenhagen, but Copenhagen is inspiring for China. Among the Danish solutions that the municipality of Beijing find particularly useful is the five-finger plan that lays out the Copenhagen train system as well as the city’s carefully planned bike routes.

Danish companies have the solutions that China is asking for. Rockwool, Danfoss, Cowi, DHI, Velux, Novozymes and Grundfos are examples of companies that are already represented in China, and with 绿色国度stateofgreen.com/cn, they have a new distinctive online platform to showcase their solutions within energy efficiency, water, heating and cooling and more. Stateofgreen.com/cn is the only web platform of its kind – no other web platform offers in depth insight in Mandarin about public and private Danish competences within the green sector.
