IPEC 2026 – Defence & Security online Conference

Europe’s defence and security landscape is undergoing rapid change. Geopolitical tensions, hybrid threats, advances in artificial intelligence, and fragile supply chains call for smart, sovereign, and sustainable solutions.

IPEC 2026 – Defence & Security online Conference (17 March 2026) brings together European experts from industry, SMEs, research, and public institutions to discuss applied technologies that strengthen Europe’s security and industrial capabilities. Key topics include AI-driven defence solutions, secure embedded software, sovereign industrial AI, resilient PNT systems, trustworthy Voice AI, and dual-use approaches.

Through concrete use cases, the online conference highlights how AI, data, and autonomy can accelerate complex projects, reinforce critical infrastructure, and support resilient European value chains. 

The event is part of the Transform_EMN project and is organized by the Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK Nürnberg für Mittelfranken).
