Germany’s Defense Sector – Opportunities and Challenges

We cordially invite you to our webinar “Germany’s Defense Sector – Opportunities and Challenges”.

The defense sector in Europe and Germany is undergoing dynamic change. Political and legal frameworks, technological innovations, and reform initiatives are shaping the industry, creating new opportunities — but also challenges.

In our webinar, we will explore current developments and provide practical insights into key topics:

1. Procurement procedures and reform initiatives: German defence procurement is heavily regulated and currently the focus of reform initiatives. These could result in more direct awards, less opportunities for challenges and review procedures and potentially restrictions for non-EU bidders to participate in competitions.

2. M&A Transactions: Mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures serve market consolidation and access to key technologies. At the same time, investments in defence companies are different from M&A in commercial markets. They need to consider regulatory hurdles such FDI reviews and ensure compliance with national security and classified information restrictions during the process.

3. IPOs/Financing: Initial public offerings provide companies with opportunities to raise capital for growth and technological innovations like AI or space applications. Financing may involve private banks, public funds (including strategic investments for safeguarding purposes) and/or ECA covered structures, depending on the company and the project.

Take advantage of this opportunity to exchange ideas with leading experts and gain valuable insights into the latest industry developments.

Participation in our webinars is free of charge. Please note that we will be using Zoom for our webinar.

We look forward to your participation!

Your German Defense Team
