Bright Green Business

The business community in Sonderborg has strong traditions and competencies within energy efficiency, cleantech and smart/intelligent solutions for energy and water. Danfoss and many other world leading companies have their headquarters, R&D and manufacturing in Sonderborg.

The Climate challenge is one of the world’s most important issues to get resolved. It’s important for the future of our planet, but it is also a great global business opportunity, as business is a major driver for “fixing the challenge”.

Existing technologies can take us app. half way, but new technologies, solutions and cost reduction programs need to be developed in a close cooperation with new stakeholders.

Business analyst estimates sustainable energy and water solutions to be the fastest growing business opportunity next 20 years strongly supported by government regulations all over the world.

But Corporate Social Responsibility also means that the corporations themselves take the prescribed green medicine and reduce their own carbon emissions.

ProjectZero supports both dimensions – the business/solution creation and reducing industry´s own carbon emissions.


Lean Energy Cluster

Lean Energy Cluster is the regions own hub for technology/solution development among companies. Next practice solutions can help cities all over the world lower carbon emissions and thereby become Carbon-neutral.


The LINAK Company is a major ZEROcompany rolemodel

The ZEROcompany, the ZEROshop and the ZEROtourism are important ProjectZero participatory platforms for companies to reduce own carbon footprint. Sonderborg´s LINAK-company in 2010 decided to become a 100% green company by improving energy efficiency in its operations and by developing its own renewable energy supply based on wind, photovoltaic and green district heating.

This is why ProjectZero and Bright Green Business go hand in hand.

Sonderborg seeks collaborations
Through partnerships and by sharing solutions, ProjectZero aims to establish a leading position for Denmark in CO₂-neutral growth and sustainable cities. Therefore, we are seeking collaborations on new technologies, offshore wind turbines and climate-friendly projects.
