Build, Buy or Partner; The next Phase of European Defence
Organized by Eversheds Sutherland Sweden
About the event
Europe’s defence industry is under growing pressure to deliver new capabilities faster while adapting to rapid technological development and an increasingly complex security environment.
Join Eversheds Sutherland for an afternoon exploring how defence companies, investors and public sector actors can navigate these challenges and turn strategic ambitions into practical outcomes.
The seminar brings together representatives from the Swedish Armed Forces, defence and space companies, and investors focused on the defence sector, alongside colleagues from Eversheds Sutherland offices across Europe. Together, they will bring perspectives from across the European defence ecosystem to a discussion on how Sweden and Europe can strengthen their defence capabilities in a rapidly evolving security, technological and regulatory landscape.
The discussion will follow the path from emerging capability needs and strategic choices, including what should be built, bought or developed through partnerships, to the practical realities of implementation. The seminar will address the regulatory, commercial and operational challenges that arise as strategic ambition moves into investment, partnerships, procurement and delivery.
Please note: We are delighted to offer this event free of charge. As places are limited, a no-show fee will apply, so please let us know in advance if you are no longer able to attend.
