✅New European Commission: approved! ➡️Next stop? Fix European competitiveness! Yesterday the European Parliament approved the 27 new European commissioners who will be shaping European policies and agendas in the period of 2024-2029. The Commission will now begin its term this Sunday 1 December 2024. Danish Industry congratulates the new European Commission who will have to hit the ground running. The first task will be for the commission to come up with ways to fix European competitiveness. It is not an easy task, but it is the most important. Without it, we will not have the prosperity to drive our green, digital and secure European future. Important work ahead and DI is ready to contribute with our concrete input and solutions. 🎉For now - congratulations to the new EU commission team and we look forward to meet you on the path towards a more competitive EU. Psst... If you really can't wait to get started before Sunday, have a look at DI's six flagships proposals as the building blocks for a competitive EU.

Arla Foods Ingredients og DI bekæmper underernæring i Pakistan med innovative produkter!   Fødevareusikkerheden i Pakistan påvirker hele 70 % af befolkningen - samtidig er der et fødevarespild på op til 40%. Derfor har Arla Foods Ingredients indgået et samarbejde med lokale pakistanske virksomheder, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) og DI. Projektet skal reducere fødevarespild og skabe næringsrige produkter til udsatte befolkningsgrupper.   Partnerne vil udvikle næringsrige fødevarer baseret på restprodukter som valle fra mejeriproduktion samt frugter som abrikoser og dadler. "Vores fokus er på at udvikle økonomisk overkommelige og tilgængelige næringsrige fødevareprodukter, hvor vi kan bruge vores valle-ingredienser og ekspertise til at skabe en forretningsmodel, der også skaber job hos de pakistanske virksomheder, der er involveret i projektet," siger Charlotte Sørensen, forretningsudvikler hos Arla Foods Ingredients. DI bidrager ved at træne de deltagende pakistanske virksomheder i ansvarlig virksomhedsførelse, hvilket sikrer gennemsigtighed og bæredygtighed i hele værdikæden.   Læs mere om projektet via link i kommentaren og bliv klogere på, hvordan offentlige og private aktører samarbejder ude i verden! Men før du læser videre, så tag et kig på videoen herunder, som beskriver hvordan partnerne arbejder for at reducere fødevarespild og skabe næringsrige produkter!

Dansk lakrids og biosolutions inspirerer erhvervsledere fra Jordan🌍 For nylig havde vi fornøjelsen af at byde en erhvervsdelegation fra Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) velkommen til Danmark. Delegationen var her for at lære om vores erhvervsuddannelsessystemer og lærlingeforløb. Hos LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW og Novonesis fik de indblik i, hvordan danske virksomheder arbejder med socialt ansvar og uddannelse. CEO Fredrik R. Nilsson og teknisk direktør Tage Vedsted Kusk fra Lakrids by Bülow delte deres erfaringer med delegationens deltagere, og hos Novonesis fortalte teamleder René Birch om det at have lærlinge; ”de er et kæmpe ansvar – men også en kæmpe gave” Besøget er en del af DI's bidrag til Najahana-projektet, der med støtte fra Novo Nordisk Fonden arbejder på at bringe unge jordanere og syriske flygtninge tættere på arbejdsmarkedet i Jordan. Formand Fathi al-Jaghbir fra Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) udtrykte stor begejstring over at lære om det danske samspil mellem teori og praksis i erhvervsuddannelserne.

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐎𝐏29 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 Second and final week of #COP29 is kicked off today, as Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard has landed in Baku, to finalize this years climate negotiations. During the first week 30 events took place at the Danish Pavilion, where it was evident that many are still looking to Denmark for inspiration and as a leader in implementation and development of green energy solutions. COP is a unique platform for Danish companies to meet with a wide range of stakeholders from NGOs and government representatives to commercial partners, and display their solutions within e.g. #renewableenergy #energyefficiency, which contribute to global emission reductions. Over the weekend the DI baton has been handed over to Anne Højer Simonsen and Jens Asker Aarkrog Wahlgren.
