Can Industry be a Key Defence Partner for Government?

Defence budgets are rising, but delivery is slow. Join our webinar to learn what must change for government to see industry as a partner and deterrent.

Webinar

12th Jan 2027 | 14:00-15:00 BST


Defence spending is rising across Europe, and research shows the public generally supports it. But money alone doesn't close the gap between rising threats and the capability needed to meet them. Early industry involvement is proven to cut delivery timescales. Yet PA Consulting research shows the European public doesn't see the private sector's role in their security.  

Raising budgets is the oft-quoted solution. This webinar will suggest the focus should be on how that money is managed and how quickly it can be turned into capability. 

Key questions: 

  1. Why capability delivery is still slow even as defence budgets rise 
  2. How to accelerate programmes without compromising assurance or operational effectiveness 
  3. What procurement and delivery models harness industry innovation at pace 
  4. How to secure value for money as defence spending rises 
  5. Practical steps defence leaders can take to strengthen government, military and industry collaboration 

Register to find out what it takes to turn defence budgets into capability, before threats outpace delivery.
