COMPLEMENTS at European Defence Week in Paris

The COMPLEMENTS project was brought to the attention of key stakeholders across the European Security and Defence ecosystem during European Defence Week, held in Paris, France, from 2 to 6 November 2026. The event provided an opportunity to showcase the project's objectives and highlight the importance of cross-sectoral skills development in strengthening Europe's Security and Defence capabilities.

As a member of the European Defence Alliance, Fondazione E. Amaldi used the event as an opportunity to raise awareness of COMPLEMENTS and its role in fostering cross-sectoral skills development in the Security and Defence domain. Dissemination activities included distributing project flyers and sharing the QR code to the COMPLEMENTS Policy and Skills Survey, alongside dedicated one-to-one discussions with event participants.
 
Through these activities, the project was introduced to representatives from a diverse range of organisations, including SMEs, start-ups, large industrial companies, investors, innovation agencies, public authorities and defence organisations. These exchanges provided an opportunity to present COMPLEMENTS' objectives, identify potential synergies and establish connections with stakeholders interested in skills development, innovation and cross-sectoral collaboration.
 
A further opportunity to highlight the project came on 5 November 2026, during the panel discussion “Building a European Defence Space Ecosystem: What Must Happen by 2030?”, held at Le Hub in Paris. Lorenzo Scatena, Secretary General of Fondazione E. Amaldi, participated as a speaker, bringing the project's objectives to the attention of the audience and reinforcing its relevance to the evolving European Defence ecosystem.
 
Participation in European Defence Week provided COMPLEMENTS with valuable visibility among relevant European stakeholders and supported its broader dissemination efforts, helping to build connections and explore opportunities for collaboration that can contribute to the project's longer-term impact.
