Closing the Financing Gaps in Europe's Defence
Europe faces a fundamental challenge: turning rising defence spending into military capability, industrial capacity and technological advantage. Achieving this will require more than public budgets alone. Europe needs new financing models, stronger private investment and faster integration of AI, software and defence technologies.
Defence Finance 2027 brings together capital, capability and code – policymakers and investors, defence industry leaders and technology innovators – to explore how Europe can finance, build and deploy the capabilities required for credible deterrence and greater strategic autonomy.
The conference focuses on moving from ambition to execution: closing financing gaps, scaling production, accelerating innovation and developing a viable European financing architecture for security and defence.
