Editor's Notes

  1. Some points of comparison; two extremely old cities rooted in history, innovation, art, design and academics.
  2. The distance between CPH and PVD I s equivalent of east coast/west coast
  3. Driving force behind this initiative
  4. Name of the initiative
  5. AC’s Legacy of Community Involvement
  6. History of sister city relationships; the Rochester, MN relationship reflects two communities coming together under the umbrella of medical research
  7. “ Active” is a relative term; substantive is what I am proposing
  8. Denver’s approach
  9. Sampling of arts & cultural assets
  10. From social enterprise/impact ventures to agricultural, tech & design, etc.
  11. College/university assets
  12. Conference/event assets in PVD (sampling) premier platforms for CPH innovators to be, participate, perfrom, and tell their stories—we are expert at connecting
  13. Imaging a new type of interaction; where CPH/Denmark can use PVD as a stage/setting to showcase its problem-solving abilities internationally (and vice versa)….+ cultural exchange, too
  14. Entities whose products/services would be ideal for Danish market
  15. To embrace, assist and collaborate….beyond our borders…..catalyzing new conversations, relationships, partnerships and problem-solving.
