Growing maritime threats and disruptions across key maritime corridors are putting increasing pressure on Europe’s ability to protect sea lines of communication, deter hostile activity and project stability beyond its shores.

The European Policy Centre (EPC), in partnership with SEA Naval, invites you to this Policy Dialogue that will examine current maritime threats, the EU’s policies and responses, naval capability gaps and the political choices required to strengthen the EU’s naval posture. The debate will also highlight the role the European naval industry plays in supporting the EU’s defence at sea.

The discussion will mark the launch of an EPC report detailing actionable recommendations to enhance the EU’s naval capabilities and posture.

This event welcomes the participation of EPC member organisations, EU institutions and media.
