Defence Industry

Why the UK?

The UK has a well-established defence industry with a robust ecosystem that includes university collaborations and funding opportunities. The British prime contractors are global players, significantly supplying both the British defence, which operates with an annual defence budget of 2.5% of GDP, and other states within and outside Europe. The UK is home to three of the world's 50 largest defence companies, including the largest outside the USA.

Offset agreements provide opportunities

Denmark has historically purchased extensively from British defence companies, and the associated offset agreements create opportunities for Danish companies as suppliers to British prime contractors. The embassy is in ongoing dialogue with British primes and regularly plans supplier showcases to support their offset pipeline.
