Defence Industry Seminar 2026 - Building endurance and resilience in the Arctic
On 21 May 2026 in Nuuk, DI Defence and Security will host a Defence Industry Seminar. We invite you to join us in Nuuk, where we will take an in-depth look at the security policy implications in the Arctic, the role of the defence industry and the long-term roadmap forward with combined Danish and Greenlandic perspectives. All of which have never been more relevant than now.
What to expect?
As a natural and separate extension of Future Greenland DI Danish Defence and Security Industries is organizing a special Defence Industry Seminar on May 21, 2026.
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, relevant international actors and close partners. The seminar will focus on the following topics:
- Security policy in the Arctic region – the current situation and beyond
- Defence industrial build-up and development in Arctic conditions
- Partnership potentials between Greenlandic and Danish companies and actors
In other words, the seminar is a foundation for network and knowledge sharing as well as a framework for inspiration and new opportunities for both Danish and Greenlandic businesses.
We hope you will join us at this crucial time in the political and industrial development of the Arctic.
The final program for the Industry Defence Seminar will be announced shortly. The seminar will primarily be held in English.
Practical information
There will be many people in Nuuk the week of the seminar. As such hotel rooms and flights will quickly be sold out. We can therefore highly recommend that you register for the seminar and book your flight ticket and hotel room as soon as possible.
Hotel
The seminar will take place at Hotel Hans Egede in Nuuk.
For those who need hotel accommodation, pre-bookings for different rooms have been made with the Hotel Hans Egede (hhe.gl – Hotel Hans Egede) and HHE Express Hotel (Forside - HHE Express).
You must make the booking yourself for the days you need, and at your own expense. The pre-booked reservations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Flight
There are usually variations as for when participants will arrive and leave Nuuk, as well as where participants come from. The prices for plane tickets to Nuuk can likewise vary. For these reasons we let you book individually. This is also at your own expense and responsibility.

Exhibition Spot
It is possible for 20 companies to book an exhibition spot at the Defence Industry Seminar where there will be a low table and space for a roll-up. The exhibition will be a chance for general exposure and a networking spot during break and lunch.
Exhibition spots can be selected as an add-on when you register.
Sponsorships
We usually see a big interest for this event and want to attract as many different Greenlandic organizations, NGO's, students and stakeholders as possible. Some of those who want to join unfortunately haven’t got the funds to pay the fee.
Therefore we would like to offer participating companies the chance of sponsoring tickets to the conference, which we will use to offer students, NGO's and others eligible for a sponsored participation. Any sponsored ticket will be distributed to applicants leading up to the conference.
Participants who receive a sponsored ticket will be informed which company who have sponsored their participation. Furthermore any sponsor company will be named on our event website and mentioned at the opening of the event.
Sponsorships can be selected as an add-on when you register.
