"It was a pleasure to help tell the crown prince what we're working on. It looked as as if His Royal Highness thought it was both fun and interesting with a first impression of the culture of innovation in Silicon Valley, and how fast technology is moving the world forward, says global director of Google's activities with small and medium-sized enterprises Allan Thygesen, in a press release."

Great we get pictures even this visit isn't officially in the sense we are used to. Seems like he visits a lot of companies. Wonder how many days his visit lasts? Or if he has went home again.

BT article and two HQ pictures of Frederik becoming the first Danes to drive in one of Google's self-driving cars:

A more Comprehensive article on Frederik's visit to the Innovation Center Denmark in Silicon Valley

Crown Prince praises the Danish pioneers in Silicon Valley | Silicon Valley Tech Talk

"In his speech, Crown Prince Frederik referenced the success of the California wine industry as well as the “fascinating, impressive, and inspirational” story of Silicon Valley. He expressed his admiration of Danish entrepreneurs, praising them as “modern pioneers that have taken a chance by going all in, moving their projects to a different continent, a different business culture, and a different level of competition.”

“Innovation Center Denmark facilitates the entry of technology-based Danish companies into Silicon Valley, connects research, capital, and companies, innovates business models and market strategies, and delivers the inspiration that drives innovation.”

Dedicated to the growth of Danish companies, the center has already introduced more than 60+ startups to the Valley through SCALEit. The goal of the program is to help talented entrepreneurs bridge the gap between startup and growth."

it seems he was with good company
"Other Danish panelists and CEOs with successful companies in Silicon Valley included Mikkel Svane from Zendesk, David Helgason of Unity Technologies and serial entrepreneur Juha Christensen with Cloudmade."

A very great visit, just wish it was promoted better

Another Article on Frederik's visit
https://in.finance.yahoo.com/news/danish-companies-migrate-silicon-valley-171400335.html

"Danish Companies Migrate to Silicon Valley
The Danish imprint on Silicon Valley is on the rise, as more entrepreneurs from the small Scandinavian country relocate to Silicon Valley. This past year alone, more than forty companies from Denmark have consulted with Innovation Center Denmark in Palo Alto when taking the leap to California. A conference at Stanford University on collaboration with Denmark was opened by HRH the Crown Prince.

“We bridge the gap between startup and growth by helping companies into the ecosystem here. It is tremendously important for Denmark that Danish start-ups can gain success here and the interest of HRH the Crown Prince is very useful in raising awareness of the possibilities for the startups but also for the larger Danish companies who can benefit from collaboration with Silicon Valley.”"

I guess this trip was useful in opening doors and grabbing the attention for danish businesses.

Yep, and my youngest one and I went with the stroller to see him (less than five minutes from our home) But the whole Energy Tower was closed and only invited could come into the yard. So it wasn't much we could see, but we got to see Frederik in Krone8 driving past us ;)

But before that Frederik has been busy this noon.
There has been government reshuffle in Denmark again... again... again :lol:

And therefore Frederik has received the new ministers at Amalienborg Palace:
H.K.H. Kronprinsen modtager økonomi- og indenrigsminister Margrethe Vestager i afskedsaudiens kl. 11.30. - Kongehuset

It's the first time the audiences are with Frederik when he isn't regent. But with the Queen on summer cruise she handed over the job to Frederik.

Article and picture from BB:
Frederik inaugurated the impressive new Energy Tower in Roskilde with a single press of a red button which then would trigger thousands of floating orange balloons as a beautiful sight in the sky. Or it was at least the plan... Frederik pressed the button and everyone looked up to the sky... But the only thing they saw was clouds, the balloons were nowhere in sight. After having looked up into the sky for a few minutes the balloons were finally triggered...

Private and unofficial (not written in the official calendar) Frederik this Monday (September 1th) opened the Nature's Day week with school children from 4th grade.

Article: Kronprinsen og 4.X løb Naturens Dag i gang | OrganicToday.dk - Nyheder om klima, natur og miljø

Exactly children's relationship with nature is important for the Crown Prince who said he always enjoy to take his own children out in the nature. To both his own and the children's great delight.

- It's fun to have the children out in nature. They discover a new world every time they are out. It may well be that one falls, but one learns also of that, said the Crown Prince.

- We are very pleased that the Crown Prince came and helped to open the Nature's Day. With his own upbringing with nature and his active background he is the perfect person to open the nature week. It's important children and adults come out and discover all the joys of nature, says Ella Maria Bisschop-Larsen, President of the Danish Society for Nature Conservation.

Not to rain on the parade, but perhaps it was not on the calendar because it has not happened yet. At least not this year. If you click on the link provided by Roskilde, you will get message stating that the article was not found.
 
The article is from 3rd September 2013. The date of publication is at the bottom of the page. Once again, sorry to rain on your parade, Polyesco.

there is no raining on my parade :)
thank you for the clarification, did not see the date:flowers::flowers:
 
Just got home from work and see this... Okay, this is really funny. I checked the date up to several times because I, like you, couldn't understand why yet another of F&M's events weren't written in the official calendar. It said 2th September 2014. But now I see the article has been removed for some reason. Strange.

Here is a screenshot of the article I linked to. Under the picture of Frederik there is even written: "Crown Prince also attended the Nature's Day in 2013."

:previous: I clicked on that picture and got it plus a wonderful article article about Nature Day and Fred and the children.
 
Sorry 14th September 2014, not 9th, as I wrote in my previous post.
 
:previous:

You're absolutely right, Pammy. This is really fun. If they write an article if the day hasn't occurred yet. Their calendar will later today be updated with their program for the next two weeks, let's see if it mentions the Nature's Day on 14th September... Both F&M has some busy weeks ahead them though, so not sure there's time this years. Canada is the 17th September...

Don't know if Frederik will attend 'Naturens Dag 2014', but the article in question was published 3. september 2013, covering him attending last years event. The photo (to the left) is older, from 2010.

For some reason it just popped up incorrectly dated 2014.

very cool that frederik attended invictus - such a great initiative. i wonder how he got involved with it? maybe he got an invitation from harry?
 
Long feature and good coverage of Frederik at The Invictus Games in tonight's news. Frederik spoke about how proud he is of the Danish wounded soldiers - that despite their disabilities after war damage they have risen from the bottom and moved on.


ADDED:

A 3:38 minutes long TV2 interview with Frederik with TV2 journalist Winnie Laursen. It was clips from that interview there was shown in the evening news. Frederik who has a long military training behind him, has three times also visited the Danish soldiers during deployment in Afghanistan. Therefore he understands the unity there exists among the former deployed soldiers. And he feels like one of them.

Frederik is patron of the foundation 'Soldaterlegatet' /Soldier's Grant.
"The purpose of the foundation is to support military personnel and civilians of Denmark posted in military missions abroad, and who during missions for the Danish defense suffers physical or psychological harm that fall in war or war-like conditions or who die in some other way.
review benefit purpose of the foundation. "

He has met many times with wounded Danish veterans and their rehabilitation through sports

he is with the Danish Minister of Defence Nicolai Wammen and Chief of Defence, General Peter Bartram. And Since Denmark is one of the 14 countries participating, im sure it was on their radar.
