Innovation, defence and business

Denmark's defence municipality.

The fighter base at Skrydstrup, the radar station and the Schleswig Foot Regiment are all here. Around the installations a defence cluster is growing — companies delivering technology, production and services to the Danish Defence and to industry.

A municipality that works with the Danish Defence

The Defence is part of Haderslev — as an employer, a neighbour and a partner. That gives companies here proximity to the tasks, the requirements and the people who solve them.

Fighter Wing Skrydstrup

Denmark's fighter base and home of the F-35. The base brings a broad need for service, technology, maintenance and facilities.

Skrydstrup Radar Station

Round-the-clock surveillance of Danish airspace. Top-level demands on technology, operations and security of supply.

Haderslev Barracks

The Schleswig Foot Regiment is based in the middle of town. The barracks are part of Haderslev's identity — and of everyday business life.

NATO's northern headquarters

NATO's coming headquarters for northern Europe will be located in Haderslev, with a large new barracks. That creates significant demand for construction, engineering, logistics, IT security and services.

Danish Emergency Management Agency

The Emergency Management Agency is a central part of the capabilities in Haderslev — with training, equipment and response capacity that place demands on logistics, engineering and services.

The defence cluster in Haderslev.

The cluster brings together companies, education and authorities of strategic relevance to the Danish Defence. The aim is to accelerate technologies and solutions that can be used in both defence and industry.

Innovative partnerships

Get close to the Defence, research, key customers and global partners.

Access to the value chains

A direct entry into the value chains of European defence development.

Relevant knowledge

Join research, skills development and events together with the cluster.

Startup and growth environment

Access to market, network and development environments — also if you are at an early stage.

Strong infrastructure

Short distances to airport, port and rail, and the E45 right outside the door.

In sync with the municipality

Efficient case handling and easy access to a qualified workforce.

Civil and military

Solutions that work in both worlds

Many companies in Haderslev make exactly what the Defence is looking for: technology, advanced solutions and sharp service. The same can be sold to civilian customers — two markets, one production line. It is known as dual use.

Metal and production

Precision, materials and subcontracting for demanding customers — military and civilian alike.

Technology and data

Sensors, software, drones and secure operations with applications in both defence and industry.

Service and logistics

Transport, maintenance, facility management and emergency response around the installations.

BASEN

BASEN — a new meeting place on the way

BASEN is an initiative and concept for innovation, companies and educational institutions relevant to the Danish Defence. It is being developed by Haderslev Municipality — one of several tracks in the work on the defence cluster.
