Confidence in Danish research is crucial

Confidence in Danish research plays a crucial role in our quest to attract both top-class partners and investors. In a world where competition and innovation are the keys to prosperity, we face an important task: protecting our vital research from risks, including attempted theft of intellectual property by state actors or competing foreign companies.

At this year's People's Meeting, CEO Lars Andreasen shared his perspectives on how we can tackle this challenge. It is essential that we invest in our common security and put safeguards in place now. But it is important that these actions are based on informed decisions. If we use our resources inappropriately, we risk not only wasting them, but also damaging the research we strive to protect.

Lars experienced a remarkable increase in safety awareness within the research sector, industry and in the various industry organizations. This development is not only promising; it is necessary. We live in a time in which the safety of research environments is more crucial than ever. By strengthening our defence strategies and by fostering a culture of security and openness, Denmark can continue to be a leading nation in research and innovation.

This blog post is just the beginning of an important dialogue on how best to protect and promote Danish research. We look forward to continuing the conversation and working together to secure our shared future.
