Cases
Read more about selected legacy cases that support some of Copenhagen's strongholds: Green Transition, Life Science and Information & Communications Technology.
CASE 1: UIA
The UIA 2023 in Copenhagen had more than 6000 participants from 135 countries. The overall theme of the congress was 'Sustainable Futures - Leave No One Behind', and had the strategic legacy objective of creating a common approach to accelerate change in the industry of built environment to mitigate the gap between the global north and global south. To support this, the Copenhagen Lessons were launched.

CASE 2: ESPGHAN
ESPGHAN 54th Annual Meeting had more than 4.000 delegates from around 100 countries. In addition to the congress, three legacy activities (Family Education Day, Talent Workshop & Research Fund) supported the strategic objective of mitigating the research and talent gap within the field of pediatric treatment of gastrointestinal tract, liver, and nutritional diseases.
CASE 3: ISPIM
The need for a certified standard or specification for sustainable digital impact was discussed at the workshop during the 2022 ISPIM Innovation Conference. A group of dedicated Danish innovation companies and networks will collaborate to raise money for the required preparatory work to initiate this process for sustainable impact with reference to the SDGs or ESGs.
