What is EDIS?
The European Defence Industry Summit is an annual event in its 3rd year. The Summit provides a platform for debating the key issues facing the defence industry in 2020.
In 2018 EDIS discussed: With the topic of European defence as high on the EU agenda as ever, it is the best time to stimulate further discussion on how to make defence cooperation among the Member States successful. Cash, Capability and Cooperation are the keywords for European Defence in 2019. The symbolic 3C's will take a major lead in the discussion to prepare the policymakers and industry leaders for the challenges in the year of institutional changes.

The second edition of the European Defence Industry Summit will welcome industry professionals and policymakers to Brussels once again to discuss the future of European defence.
This edition is focused on three keywords:
Cash, Capability and Cooperation.
Cash: Money talks, and this year we are interested in what defence investments are crucial for the future of the defence industry.
Capability: Following the model set by the Capability Development Plan, EDIS will explore the creative process behind the latest defence technology and innovation while at the same time, problematizing, how can SMEs break defence procurement barriers?
Cooperation: European defence hinges on the ability for cooperation among EU and NATO members.
These three themes are just the beginning because it is the sharing of ideas and discussions that follow that are at the heart of EDIS' success.
