Military meets civilian: from the turning point to the gold rush? – The networking forum for stronger logistics cooperation
Thursday, October 23, 11:15 am

Geopolitics, NATO obligations and the comprehensive modernization of the German Bundeswehr require increased civil-military cooperation in logistics. This interactive session brings together key stakeholders from the armed forces, procurement agencies, and the logistics industry. The emphasis is on creating real value. To ensure meaningful dialogue on equal footing, the number of participants is limited. The session is especially aimed at logistics service providers looking to engage directly with military decision makers and procurement authorities.
