Defence ecosystems and international cooperationEntering the defence market requires an understanding of the organisations, procurement channels and partnerships that shape them.
Sessions explore how companies can engage with NATO organisations, national defence administrations, international ecosystems and prime contractors. Topics include NCIA and NSPA procurement channels, national market-entry routes, framework agreements, joint procurement and Nordic cooperation.
Procurement chains and supply networks
Defence customers and prime contractors need capabilities from a wide range of industries. Opportunities extend beyond established defence companies to manufacturers, technology providers and other specialised suppliers.
Sessions focus on the practical route from civilian or dual-use capability to defence business. They cover supplier requirements, standards, certifications, security, production capacity and the changes companies may need to make to qualify for defence supply chains.
Dual-use development, commercialisation and fundingTurning technology into defence business requires access to customers, testing environments, funding and the capacity to scale.
Sessions examine how dual-use technologies and industrial capabilities can be developed, validated, financed and commercialised. Perspectives include accelerator programmes, public funding, private investment, research and testing organisations, and companies already building their position in the market.
