Defence, Industry and Research Strategy (DIRS)
The Belgian Economic Potential
in the Industry of Defence and Security (BEPIDS)
The current geopolitical situation highlights the importance of strategic autonomy, especially in a domain such as defence and security. A strong ‘European Defence Technological and Industrial Base’ (EDTIB) is a condition sine qua non for this autonomy. At the national level, Belgium also needs a strong Defence and Security (D&S) base to protect its national security.
These objectives are at the core of the Belgian Defence, Industry and Research Strategy.
In support of an effective implementation of the Defence, Industry and Research Strategy, the RMA and the VUB launched, with funding from BELSPO and the Royal Higher Institute for Defence, a research project : The Belgian Economic Potential in the Industry of Defence and Security (BEPIDS).
