Defence Tech Companies in Denmark
Denmark reached the NATO 2 per cent spending threshold in 2024 for the first time since the Cold War, driven by a 67 billion DKK emergency defence package passed in 2023. Terma, headquartered in Aarhus, is the country's flagship defence company, producing electronic warfare systems, radar solutions and C-130 upgrades exported across NATO. Hiring is concentrated around Copenhagen and Aarhus, with growing demand in surveillance, electronic warfare and defence software as the country builds out its F-35 support infrastructure.
