The presentation will especially focus on Denmark and the Danish cycling culture as Denmark will host the Grand Depart.

The Confederation of Danish Industry in collaboration with VisitDenmark, and Food Nation, will also promote Danish companies in the House of Denmark in Paris on the same day as the Tour presentation.  

The promotion in the House of Denmark will focus on how a healthy lifestyle, food, and gastronomy are closely linked to the approach we have in Denmark.  A link that also ties to cycling and sustainability. The participating companies will present their solutions and products to stakeholders and invited V.I.P.s, such as HRH The Crown Prince, the Danish Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Simon Kollerup, mayors, Sport Event Denmark, and sponsors.
