About us
UAS Denmark Test Center is an unmanned systems technology test and development center in Odense, Denmark, and it is a collaboration between Hans Christian Andersen Airport, Odense Municipality and the University of Southern Denmark.
At UAS Denmark, we have an ambition of “boosting drone potentials”. We do that by having the best possible conditions for start-ups, companies and public authorities and not least access to testing, knowledge, competencies, and an ecosystem of the highest caliber – right in the middle of a European robotics hotspot in Odense.
