European Defence Industrial Strategy (europa.eu)
The strategy will build on the Defence Investment Gap Analysis, the experience of the European Defence Fund and other EU defence instruments, as well as the recent initiatives to enhance joint procurement between Member States and to ramp up industrial capacity to support Ukraine. EDIS will give further impulse to developing Member States’ defence capabilities, underpinned by a modern and resilient European defence technological and industrial base, establishing a strategic framework for the coming years. This will not only allow Member States to restock and acquire new defence equipment but also strengthen the European Union as a security and defence actor in the long-term, in line with the ambition set out in the Strategic Compass.
It is therefore essential that EDIS is prepared in close consultation with the Member States, the European Parliament, defence industry, financial actors and with all other relevant stakeholders.
