The purpose of the event is to showcase smart, innovative and pragmatic solutions from Denmark, aimed at improving the quality of life in cities and municipalities.
Denmark is recognized as a global leader in this field, but also by its pragmatic attitude to problem solving. This results in an array of solutions, many of which are inexpensive and simple. Danish pragmatism reflects also in prevention. Therefore, planning and different usage of available resources is an approach exercised to solve urban challenges, even in small municipalities and settlements.
Two Danish mayors from Egedal and Fredensborg municipalities will share their experience in smart city and urban development in smaller municipalities. A key note speaker from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs will present his knowledge in developing a new Northern district of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
The working language of the business conference is Montenegrin, with simultaneous translation to/from English.
