16.20 – 17.00 Transport to Copenhagen, Scandic Hotel Copenhagen

Tour 1: DBI – Danish institute of fire and security: Hydrogen Safety 

Safety isn’t an add-on—it’s the entry ticket. Experience a live hydrogen jet-fire at DBI and why open, neutral safety infrastructures are key to scaling green tech.

Safety as Gatekeeper - Without proven safety, new technologies will not gain access or trust. Safety is the entry ticket to the market—not an add-on. At DBI, visitors will experience demonstrations of how safety-by-design, fire technologies, neutral testing, and training support emerging solutions such as H₂, e-fuels, and BESS. The visit centers on a live, controlled hydrogen jet-fire training scenario—showing how evidence from tests turns into operational procedures and competencies. 

But today’s facilities allow only small-scale and less realistic tests—too limited to secure accepted technologies and regulatory confidence. Participant leaves with a clear takeaway: To validate and scale tomorrow’s green innovations, Europe needs extended open and neutral infrastructures for safety testing. This requires policy support and public funding.

Join us for a hands-on look at the future of biosolutions in Europe and see firsthand how our unique scale-up facilities empower tomorrow’s sustainable solutions. Secure your spot for an inspiring journey into the future of European biosolutions. 

Presenters: Anne Christine Steenkjær Hastrup (Director Biosolutions Technology Center),  

The BioSolutions Technology Center is an integrated facility that assists start-ups and companies in scaling up and maturing biotechnological products, typically by utilizing microorganisms or enzymes to convert simple raw materials into more complex and valuable substances. Our facilities enable companies to market-test and develop new solutions that contribute to the green transition and strengthen the competitiveness of Danish business. Our centers already play a significant role in growth, climate mitigation, and innovation in Denmark, serving both large, well-established corporations and numerous growth companies. 

Presentation on the Day
We offer a guided tour of our pilot plant as well as presentations featuring relevant cases that demonstrate practical value creation and provide insights into the opportunities and challenges within the biosolutions field. Participants will also gain an understanding of the interplay between financing, access to scale-up facilities, and the potential for both business and society.

Tour 2: DFM - Danish Fundamental Metrology 

is the Danish National Metrology Institute. We possess the highest measurement competence in Denmark within a number of key measurement sizes. DFM provides a wide range of services to private and public companies and authorities in areas related to metrology and accreditation. Every year we offer new and improved services, which are based on research in areas of fundamental metrology that are of particular importance to companies. 

Presentations:

1) MBE-facility (MBE – Molecular Beam Epitaxy), used for manufacturing quantum devices. This facility contributes with devices and quantum reference materials for quantum computer development and photonic integrated circuits for Danish start-up companies and universities. A 10-minute presentation followed by a lab-tour.  

2) QKD-facility (QKD - Quantum Key Distribution), a method used for test of equipment used for secure communication. It offers performance benchmarking, Telcordia-compliant reliability testing, and traceability to national standards. The aim of the facility is to support the standardisation, resilience, and commercial uptake of QKD for critical infrastructure, industry, academia, and cybersecurity efforts, to strengthening Denmark’s role in quantum-safe communications.

14.00 – 15.00 DHI, Hørsholm. Hydraulic models testing facilities  

15.20 – 16.20 FORCE Technology, Lundtofte. Maritime sector: wind, transport and defence. 

16.20 – 17.00 Transport to Copenhagen, Scandic Hotel Copenhagen 

Tour 3: DHI’s hydraulic model testing facility in Hoersholm

Interested in water? Come and see real waves in our wave flume/basin.

DHI invites for a guided tour of our model test facilities where structures are verified and potentially optimised under operational and storm conditions. Examples include climate mitigation infrastructures, energy islands, harbours, floating or bottom fixed offshore wind farms.  

The tour will highlight examples of commercial projects and on-going RD&I projects such as our research on floating wind and illustrate how test cases are used to produce data to validate next generation of numerical models and AI. The tour is of particular interest to people working in the field of climate change and climate mitigation, ocean environment and green energy transition or just curious on a unique and special research infrastructure.  

Presenters: Karsten Lindegård Jensen, Director, Marine & Hydraulic Structures, Offshore Wind Enginering 

Tour 3: FORCE Technology – Maritime sector: wind, transport and defence.  

FORCE Technology Maritime serves key industries including the maritime sector - focusing on the green transition to sustainable fuels, energy-efficient transportation, and operational optimization - as well as offshore wind and defense. 

Core Strengths: What sets FORCE Technology Maritime apart is it’s exceptional blend of specialized expertise and cutting-edge infrastructure. This includes advanced hydro- and aerodynamic testing facilities, high-fidelity simulators, and world-class training environments. 

Precision Testing: Within our towing tanks and wind tunnels, we conduct meticulous testing and measurement of ships, ports, and bridges. This ensures that design decisions for new vessels and infrastructure are backed by precise data and can be made with confidence and reliability. 

Facilities Experience: Step into the future of maritime innovation with a guided tour of our state-of-the-art facilities. Discover our impressive 240-meter towing tank and immerse yourself in advanced simulators powered by the latest XR technology.
