<p>Europe’s security environment is changing fast — and investment decisions made today will shape its resilience for decades. In this episode of Invested by Europe, we examine why security and&nbsp;defence&nbsp;is such&nbsp;an urgent priority and what&nbsp;European&nbsp;strategic autonomy means in practice.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The&nbsp;podcast&nbsp;explores how Europe is closing long-standing capability gaps through&nbsp;coordinated investment, joint&nbsp;procurement&nbsp;and new financing tools. Innovation&nbsp;emerges&nbsp;as a central theme, spanning areas such as cybersecurity, space, artificial&nbsp;intelligence&nbsp;and advanced electronics — many of them dual-use technologies with both civilian and military applications.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The episode also looks at the role of small and medium-sized enterprises, the importance of&nbsp;mobilising&nbsp;private investment alongside public funding, and how readiness depends on a broad ecosystem of technologies and suppliers.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
