Cooperation in Defence and Security within Europe will not develop its full potential without a strong network of defence professionals having an opportunity to discuss and influence policy developments to support and encourage cooperation.
The EDC provides an opportunity to meet, contribute to policy development and create cooperation. The EDC intends to generate business opportunities for Defence and Security Industries in Research and Systems Development and foster cooperation in contracting and procurement.

The idea for this conference came from an analysis undertaken by the Fraunhofer Institute for Trend Analysis of the development of the European Defence Agency and other issues affecting European defence business. This work suggests that there continues to be a relative lack of international interaction between profesional active in Defence and Security technology and systems in the EU. It also suggests that there remains a lack of understanding of European policy objectives and initiatives in the defence and security field. Other studies and speeches led to similar conclusions: See references page for details. |
