“Strengthening EDTIB towards enhanced cross-border cooperation on future development of European naval systems”

The European Defence Agency (EDA), in line with its mission to support Member States in strengthening their defence capabilities and industry engagement policy, will organise an event entitled “Strengthening EDTIB towards enhanced cross-border cooperation on future development of European naval systems” at the first edition of the FEINDEF exhibition in Madrid. The workshop takes place on 29 May. During the last few years, it has been widely recognised that more cooperation at the EU level would enhance the industrial, technological and capability output of our Member States. Therefore, we would like to promote collaborative initiatives in the European defence naval sector by inviting high-level speakers from Ministries of Defence, industry and the European Commission to discuss the perspectives for future naval systems in the current EU security and defence context, marked by the development of initiatives such as PESCO, CARD and EDIDP/EDF.
