Dual-use products – civilian technologies with clear relevance for defense applications – were the focus of a meeting held last week.

Hosted by the project Future Defense Industry South (FFS), the meeting in Kristiansand focused on how dual-use products and technology can enhance scalability and resilience, while still requiring clear priorities around customer needs, standards, certification processes, and go to market strategies.

Speakers at the event in Kristiansand included Lars Fredrik Gyland (Statens kartverk), Christian Skeie (Antisink), Kjetil Tversland (Newbringer), and Thomas Meyer (Unplugged).

They provided real world perspectives on geodata and AI for defense readiness, the shift from civilian to defense markets, gaming inspired training technologies, and emerging dual use solutions.
