AIMA, in collaboration with the Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD), invited members to join a webinar exploring Europe’s defence industry and the opportunities that private credit investors may be able to unlock within the sector.

Speakers examined the industry’s unique regulatory, procurement and supply chain dynamics. Key topics included recent EU sustainable finance clarifications, defence procurement frameworks and revenue visibility, export control regimes, and the structure of the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base.
