Sector Policy Section

The Sector Policy Section at the Embassy of Denmark in India supports the Green Strategic Partnership by fostering in-depth cooperation and policy engagement in key areas of shared interest. Building on the foundation of Strategic Sector Cooperation, the section serves as the Embassy’s focal point for sector-specific policy monitoring and analysing—ensuring a deeper understanding of India’s evolving policy landscape and its implications, not least for Indo-Danish collaboration.

Our work is anchored in long-term partnerships across key sectors: renewable energy, water management, health, urban development, maritime affairs, food and agriculture, intellectual property rights, and science and technology. Through Strategic Sector Cooperation, Danish and Indian public authorities collaborate on locally tailored solutions that address critical challenges and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each cooperation is shaped by Danish expertise and responsive to India’s priorities, ensuring mutual benefit and lasting impact.

In addition to managing these partnerships, the section closely follows political and policy developments in India that shape sectoral agendas and influence the potential for bilateral engagement. We provide analysis and insights that inform stakeholders about legislative shifts, regulatory frameworks, and policy trends across the sectors relevant to our cooperation.

Capacity-building is a central pillar of our work. Through knowledge transfer, technical assistance, and peer-to-peer exchange, we help build institutional competencies and promote sustainable implementation. Our approach supports local ownership, long-term resilience, and the scaling of solutions. Our work serves as a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange. We convene seminars, workshops, and stakeholder events that bring together experts, industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers from both countries. These engagements foster open discussion, innovation, and joint problem-solving across public and private sectors.

By combining strategic cooperation with sector policy developments, the Sector Policy Section plays a pivotal role in advancing the goals of the Green Strategic Partnership. Our work strengthens the bilateral relationship, supports green growth and innovation, and contributes to a more sustainable and inclusive future for both Denmark and India.
