Bornholm - Bright Green Island

Bornholm - Bright Green Island

The vision for Bright Green Island is to be a 100 % sustainable community by 2025. A community which creates local, sustainable solutions, eco-friendly growth and inspires and welcomes new businesses.They want to turn this fringe area of Denmark into an asset: an island replete with green initiatives, projects and enterprises. They wish to share our knowledge and experiences with other islands and regions around the world, which have set their sights on green, sustainable development. Bornholm is one of the best places in the world for testing new renewable-energy technologies. A single power line connects Bornholm to the grid, which makes instant disconnection a possibility - creating a closed circuit for testing new technologies. Geographically Bornholm is isolated - and at the same time the 40.000 people living on Bornholm form a whole society, making real life testing possible.
