Ambassador Fulton led a Green Partnerships delegation in Washington, D.C. September 19-22. Green Partnerships is an ongoing collaboration between the American Embassy in Denmark and the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) with the primary focus of building transatlantic bridges in the cleantech sector by actively pursuing and facilitating opportunities for industry collaboration.

The Green Partnerships delegation consisted of a number of leading Danish cleantech companies that have already invested in the U.S., employing over 19,000 Americans; smaller Danish innovation companies; representatives from the Faroese government and industry; the American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark; and the Climate Consortium. They met with and visited, among others, the National Governors Association, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Executive Director of Select USA, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Danish Embassy in Washington DC.  They were also hosted by General Electric and Lockheed Martin for tangible discussions about how to work together and create mutually beneficial partnerships that could have a global reach. The delegation also participated in the RETECH trade fair where they attended the opening ceremony and had a number of one-on-one meetings with small- and innovative American companies represented at the show.
