We lift the Triangle Region's common interests
The seven municipalities in the Triangle Region naturally have overlapping interests in a number of areas. We share many of the same challenges and are connected by, for example, infrastructure and business structure. Of course, we also sometimes compete – but that does not overshadow that in the vast majority of cases we fight together for better conditions for citizens and businesses in the Triangle Region.
Focus on infrastructure in the Triangle Region
In the area of infrastructure, the Triangle Region is closely connected by highways and railway tracks, ensuring that the municipalities' citizens can get to work, and that the many companies in the Triangle Region can both receive deliveries and sell their goods.
Due to our central location, the Triangle Region is also a traffic hub for the distribution of traffic throughout the country.
Therefore, it is important that there is ongoing national political focus on – and prioritization of – a future-proofing of the infrastructure in the Triangle Region.
Strong Voice
Triangle Region Denmark speaks with great emphasis at Christiansborg when we represent 7 united municipalities with a strong mandate and more than 426,000 inhabitants behind us.
How we work with advocacy
It is the seven city councils and mayors who decide which focus areas the Triangle Region Denmark secretariat should work on.
This includes, among other things, that we conduct analyses and knowledge building on, for example, green transition, Power-to-X, infrastructure, and the defense agreement for and on behalf of the stakeholders. We do this, for example, by submitting consultation responses and continuously being in dialogue with politicians, officials, and organizations. We also ensure that the municipalities' arguments are heard and communicated through stories and posts in the press and on social media.
Part of the secretariat's tasks with advocacy is regular visits to Christiansborg, where meetings are held with ministers and members of parliament, and where politicians and the secretariat discuss current political issues that are of interest to the municipalities of the Triangle Region.
In other words, we ensure that members of parliament always have the best possible knowledge base and always know and are updated on the Triangle Region's positions and priorities.
Dialogue with Christiansborg
Most recently, the director of Triangle Region Denmark, Marianne Lundholt, held meetings with, among others, Jesper Petersen from the Social Democrats, the chairman of Venstre and Minister of Defense, Troels Lund Poulsen, and Kenneth Fredslund from the Denmark Democrats, where topics such as a third Little Belt connection and the Triangle Region's opportunities regarding the implementation of the defense agreement were discussed.
