The document outlines challenges facing the world in the 21st century and proposes constructive growth through green transformation as a solution. It notes that the world population is over 7 billion and 70% will live in cities by 2035. Food and energy prices are rising as 850 million lack clean water. The generation is highly medicated, obese, and climate change solutions are lacking as another economic collapse looms. Denmark was a green energy pioneer and cleantech is big business. The document proposes brainstorming how Danish companies can deliver constructive growth through water technology, sustainable cities, recycling, green building materials, home products, solar/wave energy, bioefficiency, green investors, and public procurement. It also considers how to develop an appropriate mindset
