From the 31 January – 2 February, His Majesty King Frederik of Denmark will embark on his first international trip after his coronation. Joined by ministers, decision-makers, and over 50 Danish companies, the Danish delegation will visit Poland aiming to spur new avenues for collaboration and partnerships across a number of green industries.

With high-level events revolving around ways to strengthen tie-ups within energy efficiency, integration of renewables, port developments, transmission grids, green fuels, agricultural solutions and biogas, the visit reflects the geopolitical circumstances that have ensured a closer political and commercial dialogue between Denmark and Poland in recent years.

His Majesty King Frederik of Denmark will be accompanied by Denmark’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard and Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Jacob Jensen. During the visit, The King will meet with the President of Poland, HE Andrzej Duda, in the Presidential Palace and with the leaders of the Senate and the Polish lower chamber, Sejm.

Paving the way for green growth and business opportunities

Poland has set targets to exploit the potential of a green transition within the country. And with both national initiatives and EU policies paving the way, the scene is set for a green energy transition.

The Polish Government’s Decarbonisation Roadmap 2050 focuses on energy efficiency goals that will reduce Poland´s CO2 emissions by 38%. Concerning biogas, new legislation is in the pipeline, containing incentives and the structural framework for future grid development. The ambition of Poland is that around 30% of the energy mix in the national grid should consist of biogas, which is a sector where Denmark has significant knowledge and technologies to offer. Similarly, food security and structural reforms of the agrifood sector will continue to be in focus due to the European market conditions and the war in Ukraine.

Lastly, the Danish delegation and leading Polish counterparts will travel to Szczecin on 2 February as part of the visit. Seeking to bolster energy security and strengthen commercial ties around the Baltic Sea, engagements will highlight Poland’s potential contributions to the energy and hard-to-abate transportation sectors. The focus is particularly on the rapid deployment of offshore wind and port development, grid transmission establishment, and acceleration of green fuel initiatives.
