​Europe doesn't lack innovation. It lacks the pathways that turn battlefield-proven technology into industrial capacity at scale.

​This event is designed to build those pathways.

​For the first time, we're bringing together European defense companies, industrial suppliers, and investors to accelerate the next generation of defense manufacturing partnerships.

​Co-organized by the European Defense Tech Hub (EDTH) and IPOL GmbH, this event is where these worlds meet.

​Together, we will explore one central question:

​How do industry, defense companies, and private capital form the partnerships needed to produce what NATO requires?

​The focus is practical.

​We will discuss partnership structures, financing mechanisms, European-Ukrainian industrial cooperation, and how battlefield-proven systems can navigate NATO procurement processes.

​We will also examine production opportunities across Europe and Ukraine, supported by export credit guarantees, investment protections, and emerging public funding instruments.

​The event is designed for CEOs and COOs of industrial manufacturers, founders and executives of defense companies, investors active in defense and dual-use technologies, and policymakers shaping Europe's industrial response to a changing security environment.

​This conversation builds on our previous conference, From Prototype to Arsenal, which explored how Europe can scale drone production by applying principles from the automotive industry. If that event focused on the blueprint for defense industrialization, this one is about establishing the partnerships to make it happen.
