Danish Cleantech Hub is a public-private partnership, led by the Confederation of Danish Industry and State of Green. We support the visibility and acceleration of knowledge exchange of Danish cleantech solutions and expertise in New York.

As a New York-based platform for knowledge sharing and green partnerships, we provide a single point of entry for all cleantech-related activities between Den-mark and New York.

Denmark - A Cleantech FrontrunnerSustainable economic growth and security of energy and water supply are among the greatest global chal-lenges today. As the first country in the world, Den-mark has decided to lead the transition and become a green and resource efficient economy entirely in-dependent of fossil fuels by 2050.

The ambitious goal will be reached by increasing en-ergy efficiency and resource optimization. As a result, Denmark has become a global leader in producing integrated end-to-end solutions to match the grow-ing needs internationally. The transition towards a greener economy in Den-mark started in 1970s. Based on experience and knowledge from Denmark ‘s path towards sustain-ability and resource efficiency, the Danish Cleantech Hub provides a platform for dialogue and knowledge sharing between the US and Denmark.
