DDTW: Aarhus | Cybersecurity & Next-Generation UAS
Danish Defense Tech Week: Aarhus | Cybersecurity & Next-Generation UAS
As part of Danish Defense Tech Week 2026, Defense Innovation Highway brings its national Defense Tech Meetup series to Aarhus, focused on Cybersecurity & Next-Generation UAS. The event is co-organized by Startup Aarhus.
The Aarhus edition brings together two increasingly interconnected areas of modern defense: cybersecurity and next-generation unmanned systems. As defense capabilities become more connected, autonomous, and data-driven, resilience must be built across the full technology stack — from digital infrastructure and communications to the systems operating in the field.
The meetup will connect Ukraine’s operational experience with Denmark’s defense, technology, industry, and research ecosystem to explore how cyber resilience and next-generation UAS are evolving, what current operations are revealing about emerging requirements, and how new capabilities can move faster from development and testing to operational relevance and scale.
The Ukrainian delegation joins Danish Defense Tech Week in partnership with IRON Cluster, a Ukrainian defense-tech cluster.
The event will bring together Danish and Ukrainian defense companies, military professionals, technology leaders, researchers, investors, and public-sector stakeholders for expert perspectives, panel discussions, dialogue, and networking.
Speaker announcements, specific discussion topics, and program updates will be added on an ongoing basis as we get closer to the event.
