Europe has set its defence readiness targets for 2030. The question this panel asks bluntly is whether its industrial base can actually meet them, and if not, what has to change. This is not a panel of like minds. It brings together senior institutional, military and national voices from across the EU-NATO defence and space landscape, the people responsible for industrial strategy, capability development, operational military requirements and national implementation, for a deliberate collision of perspectives on the same urgent problem, with the industry that must deliver it sitting in the audience. A frank, senior-level conversation about strategy meeting reality, and what it will actually take to close the gap.
