European Defence at a Crossroads – Can the EU Build a Stronger Defence Industry?
The Brussels Office of EUROPEUM, representing the Think Visegrad Platform, in collaboration with IRSEM EUROPE – The Institute for Strategic Research at the Military School, invites you to an expert discussion on the future of the European defence industry.
17. March 2025

When: Monday, 17 March, 14:00 – 16:00
Where: 73 Rue de Namur, 1000, Brussels
The event will explore the challenges and opportunities facing the European defence sector amid increasing geopolitical instability. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, shifting U.S. foreign policy, and growing concerns over transatlantic security commitments have highlighted the urgent need for Europe to strengthen its own defence capabilities.
With the European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) now unveiled and a White Paper on European Defence expected soon, this discussion will address key policy shifts, investment strategies, and the role of European industry in fostering a more autonomous and resilient security framework.
