Join Us in Strengthening Europe's Defense

The defense of Europe is undergoing a significant transformation, where technological capabilities and innovation play a crucial role. This development places IT companies at the very heart of the struggle that Europe is already engaged in.

Join this event and gain insights into how the threat of hybrid warfare and the strengthening of NATO’s and Europe’s defense can also create new business opportunities.

Day by day, it has become increasingly clear to Europeans that both individuals and companies must prepare for radical changes as war approaches Europe’s doorstep, and Russia has shifted its production to a war economy.

After many years of cutbacks, historic amounts are now being invested in both Europe’s and NATO’s defense. But what does this mean for us as IT suppliers?
