The NATO summit highlighted the need to fund defense industries, but communication between countries remains a challenge, says Cristian Sfichi of Thales.

At the NATO summit in The Hague, it was confirmed that Europe will move forward in funding defense industries, but implementation varies between countries. Cristian Sfichi, a Thales representative in Romania, points out that although there are projects ready for EU funding, the lack of effective communication between governments is an obstacle. He calls for greater transparency and a clear strategy from officials to facilitate access to these essential funds.
