November 2 @ 8:00 am – November 4 @ 5:00 pm
DBDH and partners are launching the Confidence’26 Bonanza initiative to strengthen international trust in Danish district heating solutions ahead of 2026. The project brings utilities, companies, and key stakeholders together to highlight Danish best practices and support market‑development efforts in the Netherlands. The event will take place in the Province of Friesland in the Netherlands.
What to expect?
A dynamic mix of lectures, workshops, and encounters with people who, like you, are working on sustainable, collective heating solutions. From local pioneers to leading experts from Denmark and beyond. Friesland may be small, but our ambitions certainly are not.
More information about the program and speakers will follow soon. For now: save the date, keep an eye on www.confidence.frl/bonanza, and not least, sign up with Morten or Oliver.
