The potential for digitalisation in district heating and energy efficiency in both Denmark and Netherlands is considerable and largely untapped. This page gathers key insights and solutions, and seeks to kickstart the the collaboration between the two countries.

Digitalisation has the key to unlock improved efficiencies across the entire energy supply chain, from planning, production to demand management, and is a critical enabler for emerging trends such as sector integration, smart demand response, decentralization and distributed energy.

Expected outcome for the event

Connect with market leaders and key decision makers working with digitalisation in district heating and energy efficiency
Explore challanges and opportunities within the twin transition in the Netherlands and Denmark

Digitalisation can transform the heating sector

Denmark and the Netherlands are taking firm steps towards developing a leading position in relation to developing and utilising digital solutions in the energy sector. Both countries acknowledge the pivotal relationship that digitalisation and clean energy has, and the potential it offers for their climate ambitions.

In the Netherlands, an innovation program brings together public, private and third sector actors to work together on how digitalisation can support the energy system of the future. And in Denmark, the national government has initiated the development of a comprehensive digitalisation strategy for the utility sector, in order to develop the framework conditions for the future, digitalised energy sector.

Digitalisation in the energy sector is a Danish stronghold. Denmark develops smart thermostats, measurement technology, software for building management, and artificial intelligence to make the most of the energy we have available. In fact, Denmark has managed to keep household energy consumption consistently low due to a historic focus on energy efficiency measures.

Organisers

State of Green, the Embassy of Denmark in The Hague, The Confederation of Danish Industries together with FME and InnovationsQuarter are bringing together market leaders and stakeholders from the Netherlands and Denmark to collaborate and share insights during a full-day event at the residence of the Ambassador of Denmark.
