Discussion with Ambassadors
Discussion with Ambassadors
This year’s discussions include the EU’s Global Gateway initiative and the new Africa strategy from the Danish Government.
We find it important to discuss the political, economic and commercial opportunities with the African continent going forward, including how to accelerate the green transition and economic development in African countries.
The world is experiencing several, simultaneous conflicts and rising protectionism, which makes the global business environment challenging, and this event gives the opportunity to discuss how to strengthen multilateral cooperation and international trade and investment flows in this moment of time.
At the event, key stakeholders and selected Danish companies will offer their views on how to navigate geopolitical tensions and international barriers to trade and investments. We encourage everyone to ask their questions immediately after each presenter.
The meeting will be conducted under Chatham House-rules.
Moderator: Nikolaj Juncher Wædegaard, Senior Vice President, Danish Chamber of Commerce
