Defense tech collaboration

On the sidelines of the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, GMF will host a sectoral Defense Tech Trilateral that brings together roughly 40 government and military officials, private sector leaders, and subject matter experts.

This exclusive event will serve as the venue for releasing guidelines for advancing transatlantic defense tech collaboration that capture initial findings from ongoing research.

The discussion will directly inform future GMF work focused on the global allied defense tech ecosystem that offers comprehensive analysis and targeted recommendations for governments and the private sector to leverage a new industrial base comprising national-security-aligned investors, startups, and commercial companies to secure future military advantage.
