About this report
European security policy has undergone a paradigm shift since 2022, driven by the war in Ukraine and heightened geopolitical tensions. Key institutional actors have mobilized around dual-use innovation – technologies with both civilian and military applications – to strengthen Europe’s defence technological base.
The European Union (EU) elevated defence on its agenda with the 2022 Strategic Compass and subsequent initiatives, while NATO ’s 2022 Strategic Concept similarly emphasized emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) as critical to allied security.
