ISLAMABAD: Seven Pakistani companies from Monday will spend a week in Denmark to seek new partners and business opportunities.
These companies include: Creative Electronics & Automation, Associated Textile Consultants, Dynamic Engineering & Automation, EMR-Consult, Buksh Energy, Tesla Industries and Hafeez Ghee & General Mills Pvt. Ltd.
The companies are engaged in the sectors of renewable energy and energy efficiency. During their stay in Denmark, they will meet prominent Danish companies within areas such as wind energy, water technology and solar energy and participate in site visits that show-case the most relevant Danish technologies
The programme is being carried out in collaboration with the Confederation of Danish Industries headquartered in Copenhagen. The Ambassador of Denmark, Jesper Moller Sorensen said: “I am excited that we are organising this match-making trip for Pakistani companies to come to Denmark. The real potential for trade between our two countries is significantly higher than the current trade volume of around $425 million.”
Earlier this year, the Danish Government decided to make a new business facility available to Pakistan, Danida Business Instruments, which is part of the Danish development aid. The commercial counsellor at the Danish Embassy Assar Qureshi, explained: “This facility aims to transfer Danish technology and knowledge to developing countries through commercial activities and partnerships between companies from our two countries. We see this as a great tool to help create closer business ties between our two countries, and thereby creating jobs and growth in Pakistan”.
