The Scandinavian countries, especially Denmark, have been the backbone and inspiration for SPCleantech’s activities for years. On August 10, 2020, HE Ambassador of the Kingdom of Denmark, Ole Toft, together with a delegation, visited SPCleantech in Krakow. The Ambassador expressed his will to cooperate with the cluster and to participate, together with Danish institutions and companies, in projects organized by SPCleantech in cooperation with regional authorities, cities, as well as institutions and companies from Małopolska.

“In recent years, high-tech sectors related to biotechnology, climate, information technology and electronics have recorded an increase in Denmark. And thanks to its energy policy, Denmark is now completely self-sufficient in terms of energy supply, also focusing on the export of green technologies. The Danish wind industry is a world leader in this field. These are experiences worth drawing on. Cooperation incl. in terms of environmentally friendly technologies, reducing air pollution and sustainable transport, we all need it”
