Club of Three Special Sessions on Defence
The Defence Special Sessions bring together leading figures from the defence industry and government -primarily from France, the UK and Germany- to discuss Europe’s defence requirements in the face of evolving global threats. Running for six years, the sessions gather senior defence and procurement officials alongside leading political, media and academic figures for frank and off-the-record discussions, designed to assess critical threats and sector-related challenges.
