Danish Sustainability Days

Dubai welcomed visitors from various parts of the world to what was - by far - the Emirate’s most ambitious project and the first ever World Expo to be held in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region hosted by an Arab nation.

Under the overarching theme of sustainability and innovation, The Royal Danish Consulate and The Confederation of Danish Industry welcomed local and international stake holders, decision makers, keynote speakers and VVIPs from the local authorities organizing The Danish Sustainability Workshop held between the 5-7th October 2021. Showcasing the Danish water technologies and green solutions as a continuation of the program after the inauguration ceremony. The Commissioner General Ambassador of Denmark to the UAE and Qatar inaugurated the pavilion on the 5th of October within a very warm audience.

As a member of Water Efficiency Middle East Alliance (WEMA) we were delighted to be a part this one-of-a-kind ceremony presenting unique networking opportunities with not only the local decision makers and VVIP from the authorities and utilities but Danish companies in water technology, green building solutions, circular economy and renewable energy.

During the three-day workshop, we were thrilled to meet with the water authorities Etihad Water & Electricity, Abu Dhabi Sewage Service Company, Dubai and Sharjah Municipality and Ras Al Khaimah Wastewater Authority to present our capabilities within pressure management and smart solutions towards reducing non-revenue water in our efforts to bring Danish water solutions to the United Arab Emirates as industry experts in the water business.The highlight of the event was the signing of a MoU (memorandum of understanding) between Abu Dhabi Sewage Service Company and NIRAS (Danish engineering consultancy company) on behalf of the WEMA to further initiate new partnership and collaboration between both parties showcasing how we can build a greener and more sustainable future for the next generations together.
