Danish-French Day 2025! Conference
First of two articles, this is on the conference day – find more information about the gala dinner here.
On November 12, we had the great pleasure - after many months of preparation - of finally welcoming our guests, speakers, and partners of the first ever Danish-French Day. This day was split into two main events: a full day of conference sessions and our annual gala dinner in the evening.
The conference day with the name “Sustainability and Competitiveness - France and Denmark as drivers” was hosted by Copenhagen Business School at their iconic executive location, Ovnhallen.
During the day several sessions and a high level of speakers discussed topics on energy, natural resources and EU omnibus packages. Thanks to all of the speakers, to Chairman of the Chamber, Anders Torbøl, Deputy President of CBS, Inger Askehave, and both Ambassadors of each our country; Hanne Fugl Eskjær and Christophe Parisot, for your support and participation during the day.
