Unleashing Disruptive Innovation for Defence Readiness
Innovation is a critical component of Europe’s defence readiness. Disruptive technologies and their fast development, testing and embedding in defence capabilities are essentials of modern warfare. To build credible deterrence and be ready for the unthinkable, the EU should accelerate its defence industrial transformation and fully unlock the potential of innovation.
This Roadmap presents clear steps to accelerate the transformation of the EU defence industry and support New Defence players. It focuses on three key objectives: i) better connect the defence and deep tech communities to accelerate the development of disruptive solutions and the emergence of New Defence actors, attract skills and talent, and accelerate spin-in benefits; ii) accelerate the integration of advanced technologies into military capabilities of EU Member States to achieve EU defence readiness and effective deterrence; iii) enhance Europe’s defence production capacity through disruptive industrial advanced manufacturing solutions to deliver capabilities at speed, scale and in a cost-effective manner. It complements the Preserving Peace – Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030 of 16 October.
