A stronger EDA for European Defence Readiness 2030

André Denk, Chief Executive of @EUDefenceAgency, visited #Slovenia 🇸🇮 on 9–11 November, signing the UAS TREX Programme Arrangement on #drone training & #exercises with Defence Minister Valentin Hajdinjak

⚠️ Don’t try this at home. Leave it to Europe’s test centres.

#Euronaval2026
“Strengthening the EU’s #maritime defence readiness is not a challenge that can be addressed by any single EU country alone. Cooperation between governments and navies is a necessity.”
EDA’s deputy Chief Executive Anders Sjöborg at #Euronaval2026 #EN26
He underlined that maritime power is not created when a ship enters service. Instead, it is built over many years through:
🔹Sustained industrial expertise
🔹State-of-the-art infrastructure
🔹Technology and innovation
🔹Skilled people
🔹Effective cooperation
