FROM POLICY TO WATER INFRASTRUCTURE: DENMARK'S CONTRIBUTIONS AT THE 10TH LVIV ECOFORUM
Denmark was proud to participate in the 10th Lviv Ecoforum “Building a Water Future Together – Uniting the Industry for Change” on 25–26 September 2025, showcasing a strong Danish presence in Ukraine’s water sector.
Denmark’s contribution was visible in-person both in Lviv Ecoforum panels and through the first-ever Danish Water Days and the Danish Stand at the exhibition area. Together, these highlighted Denmark’s expertise in regulation, technical solutions, EU harmonization, and private sector solutions – all in support of Ukraine’s efforts to provide sustainable water services for its citizens.
Drawing on experience in areas such as energy efficiency, reducing non-revenue water, smart metering, benchmarking, and tariff setting, Denmark continues to share valuable know-how with Ukraine.
