🇩🇰 🇷🇼 Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy, @DanJoergensen , was at @norrskenEA this morning to inaugurate the Danish Project Office in Kigali.

The new 🇩🇰 Office is also located on the Norrsken campus, and my hope is that it will encourage more collaboration between green entrepreneurs and investors from both Denmark and Rwanda.

Kudos @DKinRwanda. We love having you at Norrsken!
