On 29 April 2026, the full-day in-person event “Building Business in a Changing Defence Era: Exploring Opportunities in NATO and the European Defence Fund” will take place in Stockholm at World Trade Center Stockholm AB, Klarabergsviadukten 70, 111 64 Stockholm.
The event is aimed at companies that want to better understand and access the growing opportunities within NATO and the European Defence Fund framework. According to Tehnopol, the event is designed to help businesses navigate this rapidly evolving landscape as NATO cooperation deepens and EU defence initiatives expand.
The programme covers NATO business opportunities for SMEs, NATO initiatives and innovation programmes, company experiences from NATO projects, and European Defence Fund opportunities for SMEs. The afternoon session focuses on the EDF and on how to turn ideas into real impact.
For Estonian companies, this is a valuable opportunity to gain practical insight into current defence-related cooperation and funding opportunities, while also making relevant contacts in an area where early positioning matters. Tehnopol lists the event time as 08:30–19:00 on 29 April 2026.
