Countries in Central and Eastern Europe are making major investments in the field of sustainability. Dutch products, machines, services and knowledge are well known in this region. Central and Eastern Europe is also emerging as a new favorite for production locations. Due to disruptions in the supply chain from Asia, many European companies are bringing their production closer to home. One of these countries is also Greece. Together with our colleagues from Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), and our Embassy colleagues from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria look back at the very successful Business Dialogue that took place yesterday in the Netherlands - an inspiring journey along business opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe. Like dr. van Schaik, Head of EU and Global Affairs Unit from Clingendael stated: “EU center of gravity shifts to the East, where strategic autonomy, de-risking, and resilience are the focus”. During this Business Dialogue, our Embassy together with our guest speaker Mr. Orgetas from C-Job Naval Architects (who already entered the Greek market 5 years ago) elaborated on Renewable energy, the Greek situation, and the prospects for Dutch entrepreneurs. We also had the opportunity to chat with many Dutch companies who were present and look forward to see them capitalizing on the opportunities the Greek market can offer.

Wang Hui, Vice Minister of the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, led a delegation of high-level policy makers to Switzerland learning about Swiss zero-emission buildings, innovations as well as advanced technology and policy experience. The global construction sector accounts for about 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions and China's construction sector is the largest in the world. Therefore, the potential to reduce emissions from the Chinese building sector is unprecedent and the Chinese government is committed to increase efforts to reduce embodied and operational emissions of buildings and cities. 🌍🧱 The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation finances a project on Zero Emission Buildings in China to facilitate the exchange of know-how and best practices between China and Switzerland. It is implemented by Skat Consulting with our Wesley Wojtas as team-leader together with Intep - Integrated Planning and backstoppers from Empa and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU). The visit of the Chinese Delegation to Switzerland included bilateral talks with Patricia Danzi, Director General of SDC, Christian Frutiger, Vice Director General of SDC, Benoît Revaz, Director General of Swiss Federal Office of Energy and more. In addition, we were happy to be received by Peter Richner, Deputy Director of EMPA, at NEST. We are happy to facilitate the Sino-Swiss exchange for a climate-friendly building sector.
