Denmark possesses a significant untapped potential among startups and SMEs working within AI, advanced software, sensors, automation, analytics, and other deep-tech domains. Many of these companies already possess technologies with strong defence and security relevance, yet they often lack access to operational users, testing environments, and the wider security ecosystem. This session is where the abstract becomes concrete: four specific areas where FE and DTU are actively looking for SME and startup partners, each with a real case study showing how a partnership like this has taken shape, and a direct call to action. In a short time, you will see a practical tour of where the open doors are right now. You will be provided with the details that matter before you commit: time investment, funding available, IP terms and security requirements. Leave your interest and head to the stand afterward for matchmaking, the fastest way to turn a five-minute pitch into a real conversation.

Key message: The next breakthrough in Danish security technology may already exist inside a startup or SME. Our task is to find it, develop it, and deploy it.
