European Defence Procurement Faces Bottlenecks And Ethical Concerns
European defence procurement systems are struggling to adapt to the rapid pace of technological change, with slow customer procurement and ethical concerns over defence technology investments. According to investors and defence entrepreneurs speaking at TechBBQ’s Defence & Dual-Use Summit in Copenhagen, the traditional procurement model is no longer suitable for the development and acquisition of new technologies such as drones and software-led systems. The discussion highlights the need for more agile and flexible procurement processes, as well as the importance of responsible investment in defence technology. This was reported by NordSIP.
