Get to Know the Market: German Defence Industry

With global power dynamics shifting, the call for greater European self-reliance in defence is becoming increasingly urgent. 

For Norway and Germany, these challenges also bring opportunities:

As close trading partners, both nations have a chance to strengthen their economic collaboration and security ties. 

This new reality highlights the importance of deeper security and defence cooperation while also opening doors for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the industry.

This free webinar will provide an introduction to the German defence industry, offering insights into one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic defensc markets. It also serves as preparation for the Study Trip to Nuremberg and Munich taking place in connection to EnforceTac (23-27 February). 

During this free webinar, the structure of the defence industry will be presented, major actors in the sector will be introduced, and current trends shaping the industry, with opportunities for collaboration, will be highlighted. We will explore the current state of the German security and defence industry and discuss how SMEs can navigate this dynamic environment.
