INVITATION
Export Promotion in Myanmar November 26 – 28th, 2014
Myanmar-Danish Energy and Water Days
Based on the success of last year’s export promotion, we invite you to make Myanmar your new export
market along with CLEAN, Danish Water Technology Group, and the new Royal Danish Embassy in
Myanmar. The new Ambassador to Myanmar welcomes Danish companies to Myanmar-Danish Energy
and Water Days 2014, where we have the honor of participation by the Minister for Trade and
Development Cooperation.
Peter Lysholt Hansen, Ambassador to Myanmar
Mogens Jensen, Minister for Trade and Development Cooperation
Myanmar (Burma) is a highly interesting market, which the world's donors and businesses are turning their
attention towards. Myanmar is developing rapidly and is implementing a process of democratization as well as
opening up to other countries, which over the past 3 years has created unparalleled optimism and development.
Over the course of the next 10 years Myanmar is expected to receive more than 2 billion USD annually for
infrastructure, with the water and energy sectors being the initial focus areas. Due to the fact that both water and
energy are scarce resources in Myanmar, private companies are searching for viable solutions to improve energy
efficiency.
CLEAN has already initiated a number of projects in Myanmar, and is thus one of the first international groups to sign
agreements with the authorities. Our experience is that Danish energy and water technology and know-how is a
strong international brand that is preferred by both utilities and policy makers in Myanmar.
Myanmar is in need of massive renovation throughout the energy and water sectors. By participating in this Export
Promotion, Danish companies, consultants, manufacturers and contractors will have great business opportunities.
This export promotion is specifically targeting businesses in Myanmar with large energy and water usage, as well as
water and wastewater treatment in the major cities. Eleven Danish companies participated in last year’s promotion,
and they all agreed it was a great success. (Pictured below.) This year’s is expected to be even better.
