On May 13th 2017, the Delegation of the European Union to the United States and the Embassies of 28 EU Member States to the United States open their doors to the public during the EU Open House Day. As an exclusive opportunity for our ADBC member companies, the Embassy of Denmark invites you to showcase your company during our open house event.

Smart and liveable cities

The Danish Embassy will be focusing on Smart Cities and smart approaches for more liveable cities. By 2050, more than 6 billion people will live in urban areas, creating many challenges for the planning, development and operation of cities. These challenges call for ‘smart’ approaches to ensure that cities are optimized for economic activity, energy consumption, environmental impact and ‘the good life’. Dennmark is known for smart solutions allowing cities to become more intelligent and efficient in their use of resources, resulting in cost and energy savings, improved service delivery and quality of life, and reduced environmental footprint – all supporting innovation and a low-carbon economy.

If you would like to showcase a product or service, be represented with flyers, roll-ups or merchandise, or in any other way showcase the expertise and innovation of your company, please contact Christian Mørch Frederiksen at chrfre@um.dk as soon as possible as space is limited. There is no participation fee for members of ADBC.
