The Odense Robotics Aalborg Hub is now established – a new collaboration between Aalborg University and Odense Robotics. The hub will help realise the strong potential in northern Denmark by supporting robot, automation and drone companies with better opportunities to develop technologies, share knowledge and accelerate growth.
The Odense Robotics Aalborg Hub is now open and ready to support companies and organisations working within robotics, automation and drones in the northern region of Jutland. The Aalborg Hub will provide startups, scaleups, SMEs with new opportunities for accelerating growth and innovation.
“We are happy to partner with Odense Robotics to establish the Aalborg Hub and see a clear benefit in collaborating with robotics, automation and drone companies in the area. Aalborg University’s researchers have extensive knowledge within many topics, including exoskeletons, flexible automation, Industry 4.0, AI in robotics, large scale drones and 5G enabled distributed robots. We look forward to sharing our knowledge with companies and are excited that the new hub will bring us closer to the other hubs across the country, strengthening the entire Danish robotic ecosystem.” says Professor Thomas Bak, Head of the Department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University.
The robotics industry in the northern part of Denmark is home to a broad range of companies specialising in robotics, drones, mobile robots and related technologies within space, communications and more.
One of the many local companies specialising in drone technologies is MyDefence, which offers counter-drone products for detecting and jamming drones for civilian and military customers.
“At MyDefence, we are very happy that the Odense Robotics Aalborg Hub has now gone ‘live’. The creation of a local hub for companies within drones, counter drones, robotics, automation will create even more opportunities for us to matchmake and learn from each other’s experiences within new technologies, business and research,” says Dan Hermansen, CEO of MyDefence.
“We are also pleased that Aalborg University is the partner of the new hub as they are known for their worldwide industry collaborations and add considerable value to the industry here. We have a good relationship with the university; we have taken part in multiple research projects, and many of our talented engineers are educated at Aalborg University.”
With the establishment of the Aalborg Hub, Odense Robotics completes its national setup. The cluster now has hubs in Aalborg, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Odense and Sonderborg. The Hubs act as a local gateway for companies in the area to take part in projects, networks and events.
