DANISH MILITARY SPENDING AT FULL SPEED

Denmark's defence sector is undergoing significant transformations with dramatically increased defence spending and streamlined workflows in the Ministry of Defence. The use of direct allocation in connection with equipment procurement should help to accelerate the build-up of the Danish Armed Forces' combat power as Denmark commits to a substantial long-term increase in defence spending, including an emergency fund of 50 billion DKK for 2025 and 2026. Meanwhile, Sweden is planning the largest rearmament since the Cold War, which involves a loan-financed defense investment from this year until 2035, which could total SEK 300 billion. The need for quick deliveries in a rapidly growing Nordic defence market calls for more collaboration across our industries to satisfy the demand.

DALO Industry Days is the largest exhibition in Scandinavia showcasing equipment primarily from the defence industry. This year, the focus is on international participation from strategic partners in Europe and overseas, representing NATO and NATO-allied countries. We expect a strong presence by the Swedish defence industry and would like to grasp the opportunity to forge closer even closer connections between the Danish and Swedish defence industry by extending the stay for an embassy reception on the final day of the exhibition followed by a speed-dating session in the morning the day after.
