Conference Description

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF EUROPEAN DEFENSE

This December, join the military leaders, investors, founders, and policymakers shaping the future of Europe’s defense for two days at the Shangri-La in Paris. Last year, our inaugural summit gathered hundreds of the continent’s most powerful defense players, tens of billions of dollars in capital, and the people building—and using—the most cutting-edge defense technology in one room.

This year, we’re going even bigger.

Over two days of sharp conversations and high-level networking, we’ll tackle the biggest questions facing European defense—with the people building, buying, and funding what comes next.
