European defence spending continues to rise, and defence institutions are actively seeking expertise from the automotive sector. Many automotive companies are assessing whether this is the right moment to explore defence opportunities, how to approach this transition and which regulatory issues demand early attention.
What this webinar will provide:
- A clear overview of current activity in the automotive–defence landscape, including key market moves and emerging partnership models.
- Practical insights into where automotive technologies and production capabilities can support defence programmes, supported by real transition examples.
- An outline of the essential regulatory issues to address early, including dual use considerations, export controls and potential liabilities.
