DIGITALEUROPE EVENT

Exclusive Roundtable on Tech in Defence

23 Oct 2024
11:00-12:30 CET
DIGITALEUROPE Office

This closed-door roudtable aims to strategically explore the transformative potential of digital dual-use technologies for European defence and security.

Building on lessons learned from Ukraine’s experience, the event will examine how the EU can further accelerate the development and adoption of these technologies. A focal point will be the launch of the EU-UA Dual-Use & Security Tech Council following Ukraine’s innovative digital defence transformation.

The discussion will also highlight DIGITALEUROPE’s defence paper Europe: A Secure and Digital Powerhouse, which advocates for streamlined funding initiatives like BRAVE1 and DIANA, designed to fast-track start-ups and critical defence technologies. The agenda will cover boosting public-private partnerships, promoting market unification, and tackling standardisation disparities in EU defence systems.

Participation is by invitation only
