NATO expected to announce defense contracts in Ankara
Billions of dollars in national and multinational defense agreements are expected to be announced at the NATO summit’s industry forum in Ankara on July 7, highlighting the alliance’s growing transatlantic manufacturing power.
Hosted by Türkiye on July 7 and 8 in the capital, the summit will, for the first time, include the NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum (NSDIF26), the alliance’s premier high-level event on transatlantic defense production, investment and innovation.
An integral part of the summit, the forum will bring together senior NATO, allied and partner officials, industry leaders and communities responsible for driving forward industry and innovation to discuss its most pressing issues.
It will focus on Allied progress towards reaching NATO’s historic 5 percent defense investment plan, and on how this money is being put into action to generate increased defense production, cooperation and joint-procurement, all in the service of generating stronger industrial deterrence for the alliance.
