Greece and France Enhance Defense Industrial Cooperation

Greece and France are intensifying their defense cooperation, emphasizing joint production and long-term partnerships. Discussions during the Greece-France Economic Forum highlighted the need to build a more competitive European defense industrial base, overcoming fragmentation in the market.

Industry leaders noted that enhanced alignment through joint procurement and shared supply chains is crucial for achieving defense objectives. Greek industry is becoming increasingly significant, particularly in naval projects, with expectations of evolving into co-development frameworks. This trend reflects rising defense spending and the pursuit of strategic autonomy in Europe, positioning Greece as a key player in the defense sector.
