The first EU–Japan Defence Industry Dialogue marks a new step in strategic cooperation. Brussels and Tokyo aim to strengthen defence ecosystems, secure supply chains, and boost joint work on dual‑use technologies in a tougher global environment. #EUJapan #DefenceIndustry #GlobalSecurity
Defence & Security is not new territory for us — it's where we started. Back in 2017, Beyond the Horizon ISSG was already publishing in-depth analysis on NATO Coherence, Hybrid Warfare Taxonomy, How Deterrent is NATO’S Cyber Posture, and The Rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles — long before these topics dominated European policy agendas. Since then, our Defence & Security portfolio has grown to cover European Defence integration, AI in military decision-making, SAFE & EDF mechanisms, strategic deterrence, and great power competition. If you're working in the European Defence Ecosystem — including under the European Defence Fund — we invite you to explore nearly a decade of independent, rigorous analysis: #DefenceAndSecurity #EDF #EuropeanDefence #BeyondTheHorizon #StrategicAnalysis #NATO #ReArmEurope
