Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh Christian Brix Moller has said Denmark is committed to supporting Bangladesh's sustainable economic growth, particularly through partnerships in renewable energy, shipping, and logistics.
"Bangladesh offers enormous untapped potential. But to realize those potentials, foreign investors need to be attracted by providing a conducive business environment," said the Ambassador while speaking at a panel session.
In celebration of UNESCO´s recognition of Copenhagen as the World Capital of Architecture, the Embassy of Denmark hosted a three-day exhibition that ended on Thursday at Dhaka´s Edge Gallery.
This recognition was awarded due to Copenhagen´s strong legacy within architecture and innovative urban development, along with its high ambitions on climate, sustainable solutions, and liveability.
The exhibition was coupled with the Embassy´s flagship ´Greener Partnerships´ knowledge networking event, which delved into the business and investment climate in ´Bangladesh 2.0´; partnerships in the agrarian economy through efficient ways of reduction of food loss; and the way forward to sustainable production.
The first panel session on Building Bangladesh 2.0 through Sustainable Investment had speakers from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), Mærsk Group as well as Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Copenhagen Offshore Partners.
In her keynote, Dr Fahmida Khatun, Executive Director, CPD emphasised the need for green business that is commercially viable, a proper plan for phase out from fossil fuel subsidies and transitioning towards an integrated development model driven by green investments. —UNB
