An ambitious goal for the Baltic Sea has been set! 💚
The Baltic Sea holds a substantial, but largely untapped potential for offshore energy production. With its position as the frontline for European energy security, close cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region is a crucial green vessel toward an energy-resilient and climate-neutral Europe.
Today, Heads of State and Government, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Energy Ministers, Transmission System Operators and key industry leaders from the Baltic Sea region gathered in Denmark for a regional Summit hosted by Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
As part of the Summit, the participating countries agreed to aim for a sevenfold increase of offshore wind by 2030 – and to enhance cooperation across borders.

Are you our new intern? 😊
We recently sat down with our former interns and asked them about their last six months at #DenmarkinUSA. Frederikke was part of the Foreign-, Security- & Development Policy Department, Mie was a part of the Food and Agriculture team and Magnus was part of The Trade Council.
During the conversation, they shared many of the aspects of life as an intern – from professional development to life outside of work and their best memories.
And when we asked them if they would recommend becoming an intern with us, they replied with a loud and unanimous YES!

Bicycling is a CO2-neutral and environment-friendly way of getting from A to B. Denmark gets half of its electricity from wind and solar power - and we aim to go fully green!
Time to join the ride and let's go #GreenTogether 💚
Letourdk Le Tour de France
#letourdk #tdf2022
Biking is part of the Danish DNA - so much that we design our cities around our bikes. 🚲 Supercycle highways, bike lanes, and even traffic lights for bikes - perhaps that's the reason why Tour de France kicks off in Denmark this summer. 😉
What will make you jump on your bike so that we can go #GreenTogether? 💛💚

EU Open House 2022
We are still feeling the excitement from this weekend’s #EUOpenHouse! 🤩
Last Saturday, we opened our doors to DC residents, and thousands of guests joined us for a day of Danish hygge and sustainable solutions.
From virtual bike rides through the streets of Copenhagen, learning about Danish efforts on renewable energy sources to posing with life-size LEGO models, and enjoying Danish open-faced sandwiches – the day was truly remarkable!
We hope everyone had a great time and are excited to see you all next year!

In 2019, the Danish Arts Foundation commissioned artist duo Gamborg & Magnussen for the Cabbage Patch - Denmark’s first official submission to the Chicago Architecture Biennial. 🥬
This year, Denmark once again has a participant in the Biennial, the project Soil Lab.
The project is led by a team of three architects, James Albert Martin, Eibhlín Ní Chathasaigh, and Anne Dorthe Vesterand, and one designer, Maria Bruun. It involves two main efforts: The making of structures out of bricks, rammed earth, and ceramic tiles; and the construction of spaces for communal gatherings.
Follow along in their process on their IG-profile @soillabnorthlawndale 👈
