Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has prompted most European member states to consider significantly boosting their military spending after years of underinvestment.

Many national budgets have already increased military expenditures and plan to continue doing so.

At Eurosatory, a global defence and security event in Paris, a panel discussion organised by RTX will address these issues.

The discussion, titled “European Sovereignty and Transatlantic Alliance: Challenges and Opportunities for the Defense Industry Base,” will explore the implications for European sovereignty and defence.

This Event Report provides an in-depth look at these topics.
