GERMAN-NORDIC DEFENCE INDUSTRY DIALOGUE
The GERMAN-NORDIC DEFENCE INDUSTRY DIALOGUE by our partner WILDHAGEN NORDISK KONSULT during the ENFORCE TAC 2026 in Nuremberg is the high-profile multinational conference held on the opening day on 23 February 2026, 12:00-18:00h. More than 250 leading figures from Germany and the Nordic and Baltic states will take part.
The theme of the conference in 2026 is:
"Resilience from the High North to the Gulf of Finland: The need for a robust & intertwined European Defence Sector"
The current multiple crises are hitting the Nordic and Baltic states and Germany particularly hard. The threats to NATO's northern and eastern flanks are acute, and Germany's central location as a NATO hub plays a key role in this context. Resilience is a task for society as a whole: the defence sector and its stakeholders should strengthen regional ties and make an active contribution. The strategic, operational and practical aspects are the subject of this dialogue.
Special highlights of the 2026 conference will include keynote speeches by several state secretaries and various national armaments directors, a fireside chat with ambassadors, panel discussions with leading industry representatives and, in particular, a 80-minute PITCH SESSION featuring more than 40 companies from more than 8 countries.
The conference is a closed event and is limited to a maximum number of participants. You can register for the GNDI Dialogue using the following form.

The European Police Trainers Conference is back
On February 23 and 24, 2026, the EPTC will once again take place at the NürnbergMesse exhibition center – in cooperation with EnforceTac. The conference brings together international police trainers and combines specialist presentations on police-related topics with practical training for members of authorities with security responsibilities.
"EPTK 2026, together with EnforceTac, is more than a conference – it is a hinge between tradition and the future of police work. Those in positions of responsibility should take advantage of this opportunity to deepen their knowledge, cultivate connections, and learn about the tools of tomorrow today. Be there – not just as a listener, but as an active shaper of tomorrow's security. "
