Collaboration is the key to unlocking Australia and Denmark's potential in the green transition. 🌏 "A lot of the challenges that we have already addressed in Denmark are actually, at this very moment, areas where Australian partners are wondering what to do – for example, offshore wind." "In this area, Australia has big potential and big ambitions – and Denmark definitely has a lot to share." Last week, Tilde Hellsten from Danish Energy Agency joined a delegation of Danish companies in Australia, led by Danish Industry, State of Green Denmark and The Trade Council of Denmark in Australia & New Zealand. Hear her insights and takeaways from the week in the video below, exploring how Denmark and Australia can together lead the charge on the green agenda🌱

Although the Czech Republic has recently made progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, there is still a lack of innovative solutions in the energy efficiency of building. 💡 Donatas Karčiauskas, CEO of Exergio, points out that the success of the Scandinavian models in terms of sustainable building practices and energy efficiency is unattainable without a solid understanding of effective management of energy systems in buildings. The extensive renovations of old buildings only solve one issue without actually optimizing energy consumption in CEE countries. “Focusing on the commercial sector not only improves the sustainability profile of businesses but also positions them as leaders in environmental stewardship within their local communities,” explains Karčiauskas. 🏢 🌱 According to recent studies, efficient energy management could potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30-35%. 📉 🔗 Interested in how exactly this can be achieved?
