Could European governments one day buy European defence systems as easily (or even easier) as it is for them to buy American? #EUdefence #defenceindustry

Happy Independence Day, #Suomi! 🇫🇮

Do I hear #QuantumComputing? 🤩

What a brilliant Christmas greeting 🎅🎅🎅 With one remark: for all Finns, #SantaClaus resides at the Korvatunturi mountain in #Finland. No one knows for sure, but he might be a secret member of the defence system as the place happens to be at the border zone to Russian 🤔😉

Willkommen Herr @Bundeskanzler #Scholz. We're thrilled to welcome you at our Manching site - the heart of military aviation in Germany! 🇩🇪

After three rounds of #EDF calls, it's now a good time to say how all of it has worked 👍 #EUdefence #defenceindustry

The Finnish Air Force’s 🇫🇮 F/A-18 Hornets took part in a training mission with 🇸🇪 Gripens, 🇩🇪 Tornados and 🇩🇪 Eurofighters over the Baltic Sea on 25 January. The fighters refueled from Multinational Multirole Tanker Transport Unit tanker aircraft near Gotland. #ilmavoimat #StrongerTogether

As Sauli Niinistö put it, it's is not just about #WarEconomy but about #SecurityEconomy. This should be long-lasting and look at the whole security of the society. And for this, people need to have the right mindset. #EDSS2024 European Business Summits

As seen by Airbus' Antoine Bouvier, the European Defence Industrial Strategy #EDIS helps to rebalance the non-EU and EU procurement on defence by: 🔭 Giving a vision of 50% by 2030 🎚 Levelling the playing field 🤝 Supporting cooperation 🚚 Pushing joint procurement #EDSS2024

A call to turbocharge Europe's defence industrial capacity by Ursula von der Leyen at #EDSS2024: We need to spend better, spend European and spend together. We need improve preparedness as a whole of society approach, and strengthen the partnership between #EU and #NATO.

Will the European Defence Industrial Strategy and the related Programme make a difference? That depends on the buy-in of the EU Member States: They decide what to procure, when to procure and from whom to procure. I couldn't agree more with Jan Pie. #EDSS2024 #EDIS #EDIP

#Eurodrone goes through the Preliminary Design Review #PDR 👌
