EDTA and EURODEFENSE sign partnership agreement

The complementary goals and interests of EURODEFENSE and EDTA have led to a logical relationship where information exchange and mutual support will help both associations in their endeavour to improve European security and defence. The main co-operation under this agreement will be on European and national defence policy issues pertaining to defence technology, capabilities and industry.

The partnership agreement allows for cooperation on a European level, but also arranges and fosters cooperation between the 25 member associations of both federations on a national level. The agreement was signed on 12 November 2015 during the 21th annual international EURODEFENSE conference in Luxembourg.
