Programme

17:00 – 17:10 Opening by organizers  
by Mette Sanne Hansen, Head of Maritime DTU

17:10 – 17:40 Danish Centre for Naval Innovation and adaptability – a motor for European naval Robustness and Resilience 
by Torben Mikkelsen, Rear Admiral (Ret.), NFC & FORCE Technology

Denmark is 40 years ahead of other Navies in using and integrating modularity in Naval operations.

All naval thinking these days is that a modular approach will ensure warships that can stay updated, relevant, and able to deliver the needed naval effects in the foreseen unstable world with no or very little warning from peace to war. 

Denmark can be a European/NATO HUB for establishing and using an architecture based on modularity – ensuring more naval effect, in country know how and growth of maritime industry.

18:40 - 19:15 Building Maritime Resilience from Shore to Ship – A Critical Infrastructure Perspective
by Jesper Florin, Head of Security and Resilience, DBI 

How can we strengthen the maritime sector’s ability to withstand disruption—from suppliers to ports to vessels? Jesper Florin, Head of Security and Resilience at DBI – the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology, will explore how resilience must be understood and implemented across the entire maritime value chain.

Taking inspiration from real-world examples—particularly within port infrastructure—Jesper will examine how we can prepare for unexpected scenarios in an increasingly complex risk landscape. With a holistic view rooted in the evolving concept of resilience, this talk highlights the maritime sector’s crucial role in ensuring the continuity of vital societal functions such as logistics and energy supply.
