Europe’s defence industry

22 April 2026 • 12:30 -14:00 • Multifunctional Room 1
Online broadcast session Session translated simultaneously EN / PL

Thematic scope

Europe’s strategic autonomy in terms of defence manufacturing – an achievable goal or a far-fetched idea? Fragmentation and a steel shortage – structural weaknesses of Europe’s industrial base. In what fields are we self-sufficient and for what do we rely on imports from outside the EU? Ammunition, electronics, rare-earth elements are the key bottlenecks. Consolidation and cooperation: armament programmes, standardisation, procurement. The role of Poland and Central Europe in the European chain of defence capabilities. Dual use technologies: how to utilize the potential of the civic sector in defence? How to shorten the cycles and improve flexibility? Financing the development of production capacities – SAFE, EBI, domestic budgets. Lessons learned from Ukraine: what do we know about the needs of modern warfare?
