European And Canadian Defence Markets Evolve Beyond Equipment Purchases
The International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce, Poland, known as MSPO, brought together governments, armed forces, and defence companies to discuss the evolving European and Canadian defence markets. A key theme emerged: the shift from buying equipment to building long-term capability around it. This change is driven by the need for security of supply, control over critical technologies, and the ability to adapt equipment over its lifecycle. According to Dentons, this shift may have significant implications for international companies seeking to enter these markets, as reported by Unknown Source.
