Thales has been involved in Danish projects since 1973, and now due to the significance of the Group’s activities and the market outlooks in the country, Thales has since established a formal regional office in January 2015.
In Denmark, Thales provides innovative solutions and advanced technologies in Defence, Ground Transportation, Air Traffic Management, Passports & Biometric solutions. Today, Thales in Denmark employs more than 200 people and functions as the hub for nine countries in Northern Europe.
Thales’ strategy is to boost its local presence by establishing local partnerships. In Denmark, Thales already has a significant number of collaborations with local subcontractors and partners and will, as new contracts arrive, continue to reach out to local expertise.
As Thales recognises the high quality of Danish research, it is a principal objective to recruit local employees and establish long-term cooperation with Danish universities and regional research centres. The markets we aim to address lie within transportation, air traffic management, defence & security technology. A recent example is the acquisition of Cubris, which is a Danish company specialized in developing support systems to optimize train driving and operation, leading to substantial energy savings.
The Nordic and Baltic cooperation with the Group will also bring high levels of modernisation, increasing capabilities for both parties.
