HRH Prins Joachim launched the National Defence Technology Centre
By David Graff, ENGINEERING dean secretary
With the launch of NFC, a unique collaboration is realized between eight universities and five GTS institutes, which together are now ready to collaborate with the Armed Forces, the defense industry, and the political level on defense technology development in Denmark and Europe.
Together, we can deliver crucial technological knowledge to the many different domains or battlefields on which future conflicts about power and values will be fought.
On the list of speakers were:
- HRH Prince Joachim
- Chairman of the Danish Parliament's Finance Committee and Defense Speaker (S), Simon Kollerup
- Rector Per Michael Johansen, Aalborg University
- Chairman of the NFC Steering Group, Vice Chancellor Rasmus Larsen, DTU – Technical University of Denmark
- Lieutenant General Kim Jesper Jørgensen, Defense Materiel and Procurement Agency
- Steen M. Lynenskjold, Executive Vice President, Government & Partnerships, TERMA
NFC's newly appointed director Lars Bo Larsen hosted the event.
From all sides, the outstretched hand of the universities and GTS institutes was recognized and received with clear intentions for future collaboration. Among others, Bjarne Laustsen (S) advocated this on the same day in the debate article: Så lykkedes det!
