The European Commission has unveiled the new “Defense Readiness Roadmap 2030”, a comprehensive strategy aimed at strengthening the European Union’s defense autonomy and creating a strong, competitive, and technologically advanced European industrial base.
This initiative presents significant investment opportunities for the Greek defense industry, encouraging collaboration, innovation, and participation in European defense programs.
Greece already hosts a dynamic and growing defense ecosystem, with companies active in areas such as electronic systems, drones, munitions, and cybersecurity.
The “Roadmap 2030” can act as a catalyst for growth for these companies, enhancing their international presence and facilitating access to European value chains and funding instruments.
With an EU-level expenditure framework that could reach up to €800 billion, the plan focuses on nine key technological and industrial development priorities:
- Cyber defense and electronic warfare
- Unmanned and counter-drone systems
- Artificial intelligence and quantum technologies
- Air and missile defense
- Artillery systems
- Munitions and missiles
- Military mobility
- Naval sector
- Land combat operations
These sectors create significant opportunities for collaboration between Greek companies, universities, and research institutions, contributing to knowledge transfer and the development of advanced technological solutions.
At the same time, the EU emphasizes collective defense procurement and reducing market fragmentation, aiming for 40% of procurement to be conducted through joint European contracts by 2027.
For the Greek business community, the Defense Readiness Roadmap 2030 is not just a regulatory framework—it is a platform for growth and international outreach.
Companies investing in innovation, green technology, and digital security can gain a strategic advantage by actively integrating into the new European defense ecosystem.
Leveraging European investment opportunities in defense can become a key driver for industrial renewal in Greece.
Through coordinated partnerships, participation in international projects, and a focus on technological innovation, the Greek defense industry has the potential to evolve into a cornerstone of the European defense strategy by 2030.
