Defence Procurement: The Complex Nexus of Policy, Law, and Security

Defence procurement is not just about obtaining goods and services for the defence sector; it’s a labyrinth of special rules, exemptions, and options to transpose into national laws. With the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and growing global tensions, it has never been more critical to understand the intricacies involved in the field.

This workshop aims to explain these complexities and explore NATO’s growing role in shaping national procurement practices. Moreover, we will help if you are struggling with excluding third country equipment and software from your procurement.
