Manufacturing industry and military forge ties to scale up defense industry
- The Industry Forum took place in The Hague on Tuesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
- Defence ministers, top European industry leaders, NATO chief Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen discussed scaling up the industry.
- Dutch start-up Lobster Robotics signed a contract on the spot, but other companies mainly see the contacts made as the result of the day.
At the Industry Forum, on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague, the European defence top is working on closer cooperation with manufacturing companies. The European defence industry must 'go from promise to product'. Some companies leave with a contract in hand, others mainly with the hope that things will become easier from now on.
