Sustainability and Competitiveness France and Denmark as drivers conference at CBS

We are delighted to invite you to the first Danish-French Conference Day, taking place on Wednesday November 12, 2025 at CBS.

For the first time, the Danish-French Chamber is organizing a Danish-French Day to mark the great relationship between Denmark and France - and to highlight areas where we can work together for a better and more secure future. 

This flagship event will be dedicated to the themes of sustainability and competitiveness, areas where France and Denmark play a leading role in Europe.

The conference day will consist of a series of sessions that will be held at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), bringing together experts, companies, and public representatives to discuss Franco-Danish cooperation and concrete initiatives within energy, sustainable development, and competitiveness under the Danish EU Presidency. The two ambassadors, the French Ambassador to Denmark, Christophe Parisot, and the Danish Ambassador to France, Hanne Fugl Eskjær, will be present and open the conference.
