Representatives of Danish business circles visit Ukraine to study business opportunities - embassy
A visit to Ukraine by a delegation from the Danish Professional Directors Association (Board Network), which included 27 representatives from Danish boards of directors, state institutions and private companies, took place this week and became the largest visit by representatives of Danish business since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Danish Embassy in Ukraine reported on Friday.
"The group was led by Jeppe Kofod, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and current Chairman of the Board at Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national electricity transmission operator. It was not just a fact-finding mission but a statement of solidarity and interest in Ukraine’s future. Over the course of their visit, the delegation met with representatives across sectors to better understand Ukraine’s current needs, challenges, and opportunities for future partnerships," the embassy said on Facebook.
According to the embassy, the delegation visited, among other things, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, where it met with Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko, visited the JYSK store in the recently rebuilt Giraffe Mall shopping center in Irpin after being destroyed during the occupation, where it met with the regional director of JYSK Ukraine, Yevhen Ivanytsia, and visited Antonov Airport in Hostomel.
"The delegation also visited one of Ukrenergo’s substations, where they gained a first-hand look at the technical and security challenges faced by Ukraine’s energy sector. Ukrenergo’s leadership shared insights into how the company is working to restore and protect Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure under wartime conditions, and where external cooperation and investment can support those efforts," reads the report.
"Throughout the visit, the delegation had the opportunity to speak with Ukrainian partners, observe local reconstruction efforts, and better understand the conditions under which Ukrainian society and business are operating," the embassy stated.
