RoboInsights conference 2024
Innovation in Action:
Bridging University Innovations to Real-World Defense Applications within robotics/ AI
Join us at the Danish Technical University (DTU) for a forward-looking conference on bridging university innovation to real-world defense applications, with a particular focus on Denmark’s role in the evolving European defense landscape and dual-use technology that serves both civil and military purposes.
As the Draghi report highlights critical challenges to Europe’s competitiveness and innovation capacity, Denmark faces similar concerns in staying at the forefront of technological advancement and strategic autonomy.
This conference will explore the increasingly crossover of civil and military technologies, aiming to inspire a balanced approach to innovation that serves both sectors. Through an expert panel, presentations, and discussions, we’ll delve into what a Danish model for defense innovation could look like: a model that leverages university research, aligns with national security interests, and supports a resilient European value chain.
Whether you are a researcher, industry leader, or policy maker, this event offers a unique platform to connect with others dedicated to advancing Denmark’s role in defense technology and innovation.
This is a must-attend event for researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers eager to contribute to Denmark’s role in shaping sustainable, dual-use technology for a secure future.

Laura Klitgaard. Chair IDA. How can research and defence be strengthened
In Denmark and Europe, one of the most important political priorities is to ensure security of supply and capacity building in the Armed Forces. An element of security of supply is deliveries and supply chains, but we must also be able to develop new solutions in the field of defense in the future. Without the Danish and European defense industry, we would not have any defense and preparedness. Today, a large part of European defense and security procurement is placed with end producers outside the EU. In addition to the security of supply challenge, this means that Denmark and the EU will also lose jobs, skills and innovativeness.
Danish companies have many strengths which can come into play in the European build-up of defense capacity and ensure European security of supply. This requires close cooperation with universities, GTS institutes and the Armed Forces.
DI, Dansk Metal, ATV and IDA point to a number of recommendations for how Denmark can strengthen its position in the development of and research into future defense solutions.
