About this report
The European defence market is moving beyond the traditional export of finished platforms. Across the Mediterranean, the eastern flank, Ukraine and the Arctic, defence primes are increasingly embedding themselves inside allied countries through joint ventures, local subsidiaries, acquisitions, industrial partnerships, maintenance hubs, technology-transfer arrangements and R&D centres.
This shift reflects a structural pressure: European and allied states need faster production, stronger security of supply, NATO-standard interoperability, politically acceptable procurement and more resilient industrial capacity.
Key questions this report answers
- What is the standard form of the 'build-with-allied-country' model, from joint ventures and subsidiaries to acquisitions, MRO hubs, technology transfer and R&D centres?

- What structural pressures (production speed, security of supply, NATO interoperability, resilient capacity) drive this shift beyond exporting finished platforms?
- What law, funding and eligibility considerations, and implications for DFM audiences, follow?
