GPV is pleased to take part in this year’s Danish Defence Annual Conference 2026 (DDAC 2026) on 5-6 February, hosted by DI Forsvar og sikkerhed, where GPV is also a member.
DDAC brings together representatives from industry, government, armed forces, and academia to exchange knowledge and strengthen cooperation across the defence and security sector. It is an important opportunity to discuss shared challenges and how we — together — can support future defence efforts.
Over the years, GPV has contributed to several defence-related projects and therefore has vast experience manufacturing and supplying critical components, sub-systems and systems for defence applications. Our NATO-approved production sites and certifications including ATEX 2014/34/EU, AQAP 2110, IECEx, ISO 27001, and AS9100 (planned for 2026) – support our work in delivering reliable, high-quality solutions.
“GPV has a long history and has participated in several defence projects. In the past, our focus shifted toward selected industries. Nevertheless, today, GPV is in a very different place, and the world has changed with an increased need for reliable, competent, and secure defence capabilities. Therefore, we believe GPV can be a relevant partner for defence companies, and GPV is once again fully entering the defence area. Participating in DDAC 2026 underlines our commitment to being a responsible and trusted partner to the defence industry,” says Bo Lybaek, CEO at GPV.
We believe that GPV can be a relevant and valuable partner for defence companies, and we strive to offer a setup that delivers the best possible service to the customers we work with and in the projects, we participate in.
