Conference & Networking Cocktail | AKD
On March 25, we had the pleasure of reconnecting with our members during a conference and networking cocktail in partnership with AKD.
A Conference at the Heart of Strategic Issues
"European Defense Cooperation in a New World Order"
In a world in constant flux, the question of European defense cooperation is more crucial than ever. To discuss this, we had the honor of hosting a high-level panel of experts who shared their analyses and perspectives on several fundamental aspects:
The strategic autonomy of the European Union
The emergence of new threats
Industry involvement and innovative collaborations
Adapting to current geopolitical realities
Our speakers brilliantly addressed these issues by combining a historical approach, a clear legal framework, and concrete examples from their experience.
A big thank you to our experts:
Dick Berlijn, Senior Advisor FGS Global
Prof. Pieter Kuypers, Partner AKD, specialist in European and competition law
Mark van Rooij, Country Director Netherlands & CEO at Naval Group Nederland B.V.
Jeroen van Zaalen, Senior Business Development Manager IHC Defence
Alexander Ribbink, Keen Venture Partners
