Copenhagen Atomics is a young company that has set itself the goal of building Small Modular Reactors with new technology and a new concept, namely modular. The idea is to build relatively small units – the size of a standard container – with an output of around 100 megawatts.

If Denmark shall succeed in the development and implementation of new energy technologies such as energy storage and conversion, a broad knowledge of political and legal frameworks, economic models, the role of civil society as well as new forms of organization and collaboration across sectors and disciplines is necessary.

Copenhagen Atomics wants to launch its product on the market around 2030. Wilfried Hahn is a former German entrepreneur who invested in Copenhagen Atomics and now sits on the supervisory board of the Copenhagen-based company. He explains the concept in an interview.

Danish corporations shall gain a position of strength, that builds on a close interaction between research and corporations – with an ambition of contributing to a sustainable planet as well as ensuring jobs, export and earnings in Denmark.
