How is Denmark working towards Greener Partnership with ´Bangladesh 2.0´? Our Trade Council organized a panel session as part of the Embassy´s flagship Greener Partnerships event, focusing on Building Bangladesh 2.0 through Sustainable Investment. The plenary was opened by Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh, H.E Mr Christian Brix Møller who 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´. A vibrant group of industry leaders took part in the conversation, opened by a keynote from Dr Fahmida Khatun, Executive Director, Centre for Policy Dialogue. The keynote was followed by two cases of ground-breaking engagements between Denmark-Bangladesh in terms of large green infrastructure investments projects shared by @Nikhil D’lima, Country Manager, Mærsk Group, Radu Gruescu, Partner, and Anders Phil Christiansen, Senior Director, from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP). The evening focused on the importance of sustainable investment and infrastructure development for Bangladesh’s future growth as well as collaborative partnerships between Denmark and Bangladesh for sustainable development and boosting economic competitiveness.

Denmark and Bangladesh – Transforming from from aid partners to trade partners 🤝 It takes drive and resilience to be present in Bangladesh, as we saw this summer when the country experienced a student-led revolution - but the potential is great for the young nation and the Danish business community is already at the forefront. Denmark thus today has the highest relative trade with Bangladesh of all EU countries. A trade that is mainly driven by the Danish clothing industry's purchases from Bangladesh of just over DKK 10 billion annually. Today, approximately 60 Danish companies are present in Bangladesh. This is more than any of the other Nordic countries. At the same time, Denmark is responsible for some of the largest commercial investment projects from the EU in Bangladesh, including in the areas of food, logistics/shipping and renewable energy. But what lies behind the particularly strong Danish position for trade and investment with the emerging country Bangladesh? And what are we doing to maintain and develop our commercial cooperation with Bangladesh, which is expected to be among the world's 25 largest economies by 2035? For 50 years, Denmark has been a close partner with Bangladesh in its efforts to create a strong economy. For decades via traditional development aid, which has made a huge positive difference. Now is the time for new instruments. As a key instrument - to meet the challenge of creating increased sustainability throughout the value chain together with Bangladesh - the Danish Embassy works with an integrated "value chain advisory team" (Sustainable Supply Chain Advisory). The team is ready to advise Danish companies with an effort that draws on both aid and commercial instruments in full synergy between Danida and The Trade Council under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
