We provide comprehensive consulting services to companies operating in the fields of Defense & Security.
The Defense & Security sector is an important field for the development of investments in the defense industry of the European Union nations.
In particular, the “ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030” presented in March 2025 is a critical strategic initiative which plans to mobilize significant financial resources, potentially reaching €800 billion, with the aim of significantly strengthening Europe’s defense capabilities, industry and strategic autonomy by the end of the decade.
Furthermore, Greece plans to invest approximately €28 billion on defense over the next decade (2025-2037), marking a drastic transformation of its defense strategy.
