At a time of rapidly evolving security dynamics across the Middle East, the Gulf region as well as on the European Continent, investments in defence, security, and advanced technologies are accelerating. This evolving landscape presents a clear strategic opportunity for the EU and GCC partners to deepen cooperation in the defence sector.
The EU Defence Technology Forum will provide a focused, high-level platform to raise awareness about these important developments and identify further opportunities for collaboration. The high-level event will enable direct engagement with key decision-makers and business representatives both from Europe and the UAE as well as from other GCC countries.
