Business Delegation to Poland 2014INVITATIONSMART LIVING PL.DK

IN BRIEF68% of the EU population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is growing as the urbanization trend continues, and this group use 70% of all the energy. To meet the increasingly complex challenges of urban areas an integrated and sustainable response is needed. Within the context of this integrated and sustainable urban approach there is a requirement for new, efficient, and user-friendly technologies and services, in particular in areas of energy, transport, and ICT. And here Denmark has a lot to offer, while Poland remains a great niche for the above technologies and solutions.

The year 2014 is setting a special ground to initiate such ‘smart partnerships’, since Copenhagen was awarded the title of European Green Capital. Due to that fact Copenhagen wants to open its door to other European capitals/cities and share its experience in creating healthy urban areas attractive to live in but still workable at the same time. “It is all about a holistic attitude to urban development in a major city. Looking at all the parameters and getting everyone interested and involved” – says Casper Harboe, Programme Manager of the award’s activities for 2014.

We, at the Embassy, want to follow that brilliant approach and go even further with our SMART LIVING project, beyond Copenhagen and 2014, and open the door for sharing and initiating partnerships between Polish and Danish cities, academia and business. It all starts with challenging the mindset.

The Embassy in Warsaw, in coopereation with relevant partners, is initiating such a long term project to challenge the Polish mindset, taking the opportunity given by the new MFA ‘Policy for exports, investment and economic diplomacy’. It seems that the strongest export potential lays in the ‘green solutions’ across sectors. Hence the focus of this campaign is to raise awareness among the Polish society of the available and accessible technologies and solutions that will contribute to the better indoor and outdoor climate in Poland, to more sustainable economic growth in both countries.

The project has been launched in May during the Royal Couple’s visit to Poland. The task is now to built on the good relations established and nurture the cooperation opportunities between Danish and Polish stakeholders. The specific actvivities involving all parties will start in October 2014.

This 3 year project shall be understood as a coherent and dynamic campaign for spreading the information about Denmark and the Danish industry’s green capabilities on many levels – from the Danish vision of becoming fossil free by 2050 over cross-sectoral approach on setting the relevant policies and involving all relevant stakeholders of the market to take part in shaping its “smartness”.

SMART LIVING PL.DK

MESSAGES AND PARTICIPANTSSustainable development deals not only with environmental and energy-related issues, but also the perspective of economic and social welfare - and this is the bottom line of the message we aspire at conveying to the Polish stakeholders during the coming 3 years. The campaign is aiming to put emphasis on Danish technologies and solutions that contribute to smart living and create a platform for establishing “smart pilot projects” at the end of the 3-year campaign.

Messages

• Denmark is Poland’s Neighbour, Partner, and Friend: “close to Poland in both similar needs and business culture”

• Denmark is “green, clean, and wealthy”: smart urban development + green mobility + healthy lifestyle = smart people in smart cities

• Denmark is among the world leaders in GREEN IT and High Tech: user friendly and well informed happy nation

• Denmark as a front runner in resource efficiency and sustainable consumption: waste, energy consumption, district heating, food, drinking water

Participants

We presume there will be 4 Polish cities and 4 Danish cities per year actively involved in the project alongside other relevant stakeholders such as utilities, universities, ministires and associations. 16 Danish companies are expected to sign up as expert/technological partners of the campaign.

Campaign Goals

1. Promote and display how Danish technological know-how is contributing to sustainable development across sectors.

2. Promote Danish innovative solutions contributing to green growth.

3. Create a platform for the adaptation of Danish technologies on the Polish market by establishing pilot projects at the end of the

Campaign Target group
