“A network is wonderful. I hope you will find an excellent way forward to keep this network alive, benefit from it, connect with others, carry out relevant activities and so on. Make sure you speak to people you haven’t met before and maybe new contacts will be established tonight. I wish this network the best of my luck,” Einar H. Jensen, Ambassador to Tanzania, said in his opening speech at the launch of Danida Tanzania Alumni Network.
The launch was organized by Danida Fellowship Centre, a coordinating group of Danida alumni and The Danish Embassy in Tanzania. The latter had made it a priority to invite relevant Danish businesses and organisations such as Maersk and COWI to meet the Tanzanian alumni who all have a strong connection to Denmark through their studies or training. This connection was emphasised by the Ambassador as a great opportunity for networking and knowledge-sharing and something that can benefit the continued and improved collaboration between the two countries.
