Conference on growth and jobs

This year's Port Conference will take place on 27 October 2021 at the Port of Kolding. Four rewarding hours with a focus on investments.
The Danish Shipping and Port Companies, the Danish Ports Association and the Transport Economics Association (TØF) invite you to this year's port conference.
The conference will take place in Pakhuset at the Port of Kolding and the theme is investments.
"Investments are the basis for all activities, for growth and jobs," says Tine Kirk, Director of the Danish Ports Association. "This is especially true in ports, where both ports and port companies typically rely on very large investments. It also means that the port industry is particularly dependent on the long-term framework conditions. And when it is also difficult to navigate short-term economic developments, it becomes really challenging."
That's why this year's port conference will focus on investment.
"We will try to create an overview of both the short-term and the long-term framework for investments," says Jakob Svane, head of the secretariat of the Danish Shipping and Port Companies. "The better we are as an industry at talking about the challenges, the better we can also deal with them in the individual port or company."
Jakob Svane continues, "I am therefore particularly pleased that the conference will take place in the warehouse at the Port of Kolding, where we are very close to port companies with large investments, and where the framework conditions are particularly challenging due to the municipality's wishes for urban development of the port."
