LAST YEAR

The platform participated during the entire Folkemødet with the aim of network and knowledge sharing. Many interesting events took place, and during debates as “presentation of the new Productivity Committee report” and “ How do we modernize the public sector”  the Public-Private were brought to discussion. Saturday June 15 the Platform, in collaboration with the Confederation of Danish Industry and the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority, hosted the event ‘Should the Public be more Private?’ The aim was to gather people for a dialogue on myths about Public-Private Partnerships. The audience had been given red and green cards to express pro and cons and their attitude toward whether the public should be more private. As the pictures below indicate, the audience first seemed very reluctant voting “no” but in the end of the debate a more positive position toward Public-Private Partnerships. Henrik Qvortrup moderated the panel debate which consisted of  Anker Boye, Mayer, Odense Municipality, Line Nørbæk, Chief of Sector, Danish Competition and Consumer Authority and Mette Rose Skaksen, Director, DI Service.
