Enhancing Today's Capabilities to Combat Tomorrow’s Arctic Threats

As climate change continues to create new trade and shipping routes in the Arctic, allies must reassess their approach to the region’s security to maintain their readiness to act in such a specialised environment. Arctic Security 2025 (29-30 April 2025 at the Scandic Sluseholmen, Copenhagen, Denmark) will bring together all key security stakeholders including the most senior strategic leaders from the Arctic states, allied nations, and NATO under one roof, for the timeliest discussion on maintaining the safety and security of the region.

The 2025 agenda will prioritise the key challenges and concerns of all security stakeholders in the Arctic region with emphasise on topics like: maintaining situational & environmental awareness, learning how to fight & operate in the cold, and building the right technology and equipment for the fight of the future. You can expect to hear updates from the latest exercises in the region and the newest training techniques for the arctic’s harsh weather conditions. Join this event to engage with Arctic and allied nations in building and maintaining effective collaborative partnerships for combating the encroaching military and commercial threat of enemy states in the Arctic.
