European Governments Favor Domestic Defense Contractors

Naval Group CEO Pierre Eric Pommellet stated that European governments are increasingly choosing to ‘buy European’ due to a push for strategic autonomy on the continent. As a result, Naval Group’s revenue from Europe has risen sharply since 2019, with the company expected to generate EUR1 billion in European revenue by 2026.
