Central Denmark Region

- as The Leading Energy and Environment Region

Central Denmark Growth Forum is a partnership between municipalities, business organisations, the labour market parties, educational and research institutions, and the region. The partnership serves to create growth and business development in the entire geographical Central Denmark region.

The Central Denmark Growth Forum’s energy and environmental strategy supports the targets of the Danish government and the EU for the development in the energy and environment sector. By integrating the regional targets with national and international targets, the Growth Forum contributes to regional business development in a long-term perspective.

It is important that the focus on energy and environment is based on the region’s natural resources and on the existing company structure that is based on a majority of SMVs. On the other hand, the technologies that should be used to best utilise the available resources have not been identified. The past 20 years have been characterised by comprehensive technological development. It has proven impossible to predict exactly which technologies that would gain ground and which technologies that were only characterised by periodic success. As a result, it involves a high risk to point out single technologies for the implementation of the energy and environment target.
