Defense

We are living in a time of profound geopolitical and security-policy upheaval. No industrial or service sector remains unaffected.

Companies face the challenge of scaling capacities under intense time pressure while reliably meeting regulatory, technological, and operational requirements. In this context, dual-use capability is increasingly coming into focus.

To remain sustainably capable of action in international competition and to secure their role within national and European security architectures, dual-use companies as well as actors within the military-industrial complex must find convincing answers to the following questions:

• Preparedness, Scaling & Ramp-Up
  How can defense-relevant and dual-use production capacities be planned proactively, activated at short notice, flexibly scaled, and managed across sites, without compromising quality, security, or compliance?
• Resilient Supply Networks
  How can national and international supply chains be designed and operated to remain resilient, controllable, and sovereign even in crisis and defense scenarios?
• Digital Control Capability
  How can a robust and security-hardened data foundation be established for industrial control, simulation, and decision support across the entire value chain?
• Defense Readiness & Organizational Capability
  How can companies be enabled to consistently meet the regulatory, operational, and organizational requirements of the defense market and to build and establish sustainable cooperation structures with government customers?
