Odense as soon as once more introduced collectively the worldwide robotic and drone trade at this yr’s R-24 robotic occasion, which occurred in Odense from Wednesday to Friday final week.
In an trade characterised by technological disruption, fierce competitors for expertise, and tougher entry to capital, this yr’s R-24 robotics occasion emphasised that there’s nonetheless a necessity for bodily occasions that carry folks, data and capital collectively. The following version, R-26, is already within the diary.
Odense as soon as once more introduced collectively the worldwide robotic and drone trade at this yr’s R-24 robotic occasion, which occurred in Odense from Wednesday to Friday final week.
4,008 guests made their option to Odense Congress Centre and the main robotics occasion within the Nordic area, and Occasion Supervisor Morten Ihlow declares this to be passable.
– It’s gratifying {that a} bodily occasion like R-24 remains to be being prioritised by the trade and subsequently has its justification. We imagine that there’ll solely be a higher want for bodily occasions that may carry folks, data and capital collectively. Not least in these years, when firms should struggle just a little tougher for each expertise and capital than they could have needed to just some years in the past, says Morten Ihlow.
Vital to have a broad and attention-grabbing convention programme
This yr’s convention programme featured matters equivalent to AI, the longer term labour market, cybersecurity, the inexperienced transition and different sizzling matters within the trade. There was a full programme on the 5 phases and the principle stage all three days with greater than 80 shows, panel discussions and workshops.

Delegation journey was a crowd-puller
With its three editions up to now, the Funen robotic occasion has turn into the main occasion of its type within the Nordic area, which additionally serves as an introduction to Odense’s internationally recognised robotic and drone group.
This yr was no exception, and along with the standard Odense Investor Summit, R-24 provided a really well-attended worldwide delegation tour the day earlier than the occasion. Right here, greater than 100 friends – together with worldwide delegations from the USA, South Korea, Spain, Finland and Germany – had the chance to go to areas such because the Port of Odense, Common Robotic, the College of Southern Denmark, the Danish Technological Institute and the drone check centre at Hans Christian Andersen Airport.
– This yr’s delegation journey was an actual crowd-puller, and it simply goes to indicate that Odense has turn into a really engaging metropolis that many look to for inspiration. One of many distinctive options of the Danish robotic cluster is the power to collaborate, and from the occasion’s facet, we want to acknowledge one other nice collaboration with all our companions in creating the optimum framework for a top-class European robotic occasion, Morten Ihlow concludes.
The following version, R-26, will happen on 11-13 March 2026.
