EUDIMA participated at the Greek-Dutch Industry Days in Athens, which were primarily concerned with the maritime sector. This event, lasting two days, was hosted by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Greece in collaboration with Netherlands Industries for Defence & Security (NIDV) and the Hellenic Manufacturers of Defense Materiel Association (SEKPY), and it was part of the Partners for International Business program, too.

EUDIMA during the event held thorough conversations with leaders from the industry, government agencies, and research institutions about the main issues of the time:

– The most recent trends in the European defence industry and technology
– The possible alliance projects that could emerge between Greek and Dutch partners
– The development of maritime defence and innovative support coming from the mentioned sectors
– The sources of funding across countries and the role of EU in this
– The transfer of technologies and the applicability of these technologies for military and civilian purposes
– Future trends in naval systems and maritime security

The dialogues enabled a clear understanding of the current status and future scenarios of the European defence cooperation, especially in the maritime area.
