What you'll learn
- European defence production can require assets that no single participant is ready to combine within a procurement timetable.
- A manufacturer may possess the relevant technology but lack the required production location; another may be able to establish a factory while lacking the rights needed to manufacture the specified product.
- Cooperation can connect those resources and support an offer that would otherwise remain unavailable.
