European Defence Supply

Europe’s security landscape is changing rapidly — and with it, the need for resilient industrial partnerships. As defence budgets rise and EU programmes expand, civil technology providers are becoming vital contributors to Europe’s strategic autonomy.

The event will act as a neutral platform for dialogue between technology suppliers, integrators, and decision-makers shaping the next generation of European defence capabilities.

About the Event

• Certification and compliance requirements for defence contracts
• EU programmes and funding opportunities (EDF, EUDIS, DIANA)

• Supply-chain localisation and sovereignty
• Matchmaking between OEMs, Tier-1s, and new suppliers
