German – Italian Defense Tech Summit
Italy and Germany are close defense-industrial partners, yet their ecosystems rarely meet at the working level. Primes on both sides face the same consolidation questions and sell into the same NATO requirements. Meanwhile, a new generation of defense companies in both countries is looking for a way to work with them.

The German–Italian Defense Tech Summit brings these two ecosystems into one room on purpose. It will be an afternoon-to-evening conference in Berlin connecting Italian and German primes, new defense companies, and armed forces representatives.
