Defence Industry Seminar in Nuuk

Defence Industry Seminar: 16 May, 2024

As a natural and separate extension of Future Greenland DI Danish Defence and Security Industries is organizing a special Defence Industry Seminar on May 16.

DI Danish Defence and Security Industries have a long-standing tradition making this event, with the aim to promote business relations and opportunities for cooperation between Denmark, Greenland, and close partners among our allies. There will be presentations from both Danish and Greenlandic companies as well as relevant actors from e.g. Greenland, Denmark, USA, and Canada. The seminar will focus on the following topics:

• Theme 1: A new Arctic reality and a new focus on partnerships and development
• Theme 2: Defence focus on the Arctic in the light of the new Danish defence agreement
• Theme 3: Security, logistics and collaboration
• Theme 4: Infrastructure under extreme conditions

In other words, the seminar will present a frame for knowledge sharing as well as a unique opportunity to create and maintain network, at a crucial time in the political and industrial development of the Arctic.
