Danish Defence Industry Day 2025

Danish Defence Industry Day 2025 (DDID) takes place on August 19. Come join us for the annual Defence Industry event where networking, knowledge exchange, B2B & G2B will be in focus!

What to expect?

DDID is organized by DI Danish Defence and Security Industries and takes place annually the day before DALO Industry Days, thus kick-starting one of the most important weeks for the Danish defence industry during the year.

Around 250 participants from Denmark and abroad will meet to discuss relevant policy issues, defence matters, and industry aspects. The event will thus offer a great opportunity to gain new insights, meet and network with leaders of the defence industry, and discuss and gain knowledge from high-level decision-makers from the Danish Ministry of Defence, the Armed Forces, and a wide range of defence companies.

The event will give companies the opportunity to exhibit and showcase innovative solutions which we hope will encourage B2B and G2B networking. Furthermore, the event has a conference part where interesting speakers will discuss relevant topics.

 

What do I need to know?

DDID 2025 will take place on August 19, 2025, at Danish Industry in Industriens Hus (the House of Industry) in central Copenhagen.

The event will start at 12.00 noon with lunch and end at 10.00 pm after a drinks reception and a joint networking dinner. Everything is included in the price.

Program

The program is yet to be finalized, but in light of Denmark taking over the EU presidency from July 2025, we will cover key defence-industrial themes in this respect. Additionally, we aim to take the pulse of the transatlantic relationship as of 2025. We are confident enough to promise a very exciting program, so stay tuned!
