From cyber warfare and AI-driven threats to supply chain vulnerabilities and geopolitical instability, the defence supply chain is changing demanding greater agility, resilience, and innovation across every layer of defence — from policy to production.
“Defence is no longer just about hardware — it’s about secure data, digital infrastructure, trusted supply chains, and real-time collaboration. Companies like Confidee aim to support the transformation by ensuring traceability, compliance, and trust in the components that power critical systems. In a disrupted world, trusted partnerships aren’t optional — they’re mission-critical”, says ales Manager Denmark Torben Hajslund.
At this year’s Nordic Defence Conference, it was clear: adapting to this complexity requires tighter integration between governments, industry, and technology partners.
The event brought together key stakeholders from across the Nordic region—industry leaders, policymakers, military officials, and industry partners—to discuss how we collectively build a stronger, more resilient defence ecosystem.
In an era of increasingly complex threats, this conference is a strong reminder of the upsides close collaborations between the Nordic countries, to safeguard our shared security.
“In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, we all share a profound responsibility to uphold the highest standards of traceability, compliance, and cybersecurity. As one of the pioneering AS9120-certified PCB partners in the Nordics, Confidee brings both the technical know-how and the transparent processes our partners’ demand. We empower defence organisations by providing documented, secure access to supply chain data — from country-of-origin specifics to export control compliance — ensuring every part lives up to the critical expectations of national defence systems”, says Sales Manager Denmark Torben Hajslund.
High-profile speakers such as Lars Sandahl (CEO, Danish Industry), Gen. (ret.) Jarmo Lindberg (Finnish Parliament), and Yulia Marushevska (Ukrainian Ministry of Defence) addressed critical issues ranging from procurement models and innovation financing to defence industrial collaboration and strategic preparedness. Other key voices include Harald Aarø of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Kari Renko of Patria, and Lone Dencker Wisborg, former Danish ambassador to the U.S. and NATO. All sharing valuable insight into the current and future state of our defence landscape.
“Confidee stands ready to support our Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian partners with the same unwavering commitment we offer in Denmark. For us, ‘together we are stronger’ isn’t just a motto—it’s how we operate every day”, Hajslund concludes.
