Europe is not only rearming because of a potential war. Europe is doing it because we need a new success industry to survive.<\/span><\/p>

In the last 20 years, #<\/span>Europe<\/a>\u00a0has lost more industrial ground than in any previous decade:<\/span>
– 40% of its semiconductor production;<\/span>
– 80\u201390% of its consumer electronics manufacturing;<\/span>
– almost its entire mobile device industry;<\/span>
– and now its automotive leadership is under pressure.<\/span><\/p>

So Europe is now turning to one of the last industries where it can still win globally: Defence & Aerospace.<\/span><\/p>

Not simply as a reaction to the latest global political and military events but as a long-term industrial strategy.<\/span><\/p>

Over the coming weeks we are going to share a series of short insights on:<\/span>
– why defence may become Europe\u2019s next breakthrough industry;<\/span>
– why supply chain is the #1 bottleneck;<\/span>
– what #<\/span>OEMs<\/a>\u00a0fear heading into 2030;<\/span>
– what #<\/span>SMEs<\/a>\u00a0must understand before entering the defence market;<\/span>
and where Europe\u2019s industrial autonomy will actually be decided.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
