The 2026 NATO Summit reinforces the need for stronger defence capabilities, greater burden sharing and closer public–private cooperation across the alliance. As security threats evolve, attention is shifting from spending commitments to implementation. This places renewed focus on innovation, industrial capacity and alliance-wide resilience.
This event, in partnership with Turkish Aerospace, will seek to analyse the key takeaways from the NATO Summit and translate them into the actionable insights for public and private stakeholders.
This event discusses:
- What mechanisms can be put in place to ensure summit commitments translate into coordinated action?
- Should defence investment models be redesigned for future security challenges?
- What barriers limit effective public–private partnerships in defence?
- How can regional defence industrial partners help address alliance capability gaps?
- What conditions are needed to accelerate the adoption of transformative technologies?
This panel is followed by a reception and networking.
