About this report
Europe’s security landscape is undergoing a radical transformation, making rapid troop movement across borders a strategic necessity. The "Military Schengen" initiative is bridging the gap between national defense and civilian infrastructure to ensure NATO readiness.
This transition from voluntary cooperation to binding EU regulations creates a massive shift for the logistics and transport sectors. Corporate leaders must now adapt to dual-use infrastructure requirements, aligning their assets with new EU-NATO strategic corridors. Beyond defense, this framework unlocks unprecedented access to sovereign funding and long-term co-investment opportunities.
