EDA, defence across the UE
European Union (EU) defence remains a national responsibility of its 27 member states. While the EU does not seek to establish a unified "EU army," it plays a crucial role in supporting member countries in jointly acquiring, developing, and operating new military assets.
This collaborative approach not only reduces costs but also enhances interoperability among national militaries and strengthens the overall NATO alliance.
Established in 2004, the European Defence Agency (EDA) serves as a key institution promoting defence cooperation and collaboration across the EU.

The European Defence Agency (EDA) celebrates its 20th anniversary at a pivotal moment for European defense.
The EDA Annual Conference, titled *“New Horizons in EU Defence: Enhancing Ambitions, Accelerating Actions,”* will take place on 22 January 2025 in Brussels and online.
This milestone event will reflect on the Agency’s evolution over two decades, from its establishment during an era of EU optimism to its current role as the intergovernmental hub for EU defense cooperation amidst today’s challenges.
Distinguished speakers will address key questions shaping the future of European defense:
What priorities will define EU defense in the coming years?
How are the EU and its Member States adapting their defense policies to Europe’s increasingly fragile security environment?
How can EU Member States and NATO Allies effectively support Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression?
What steps are necessary for Member States to develop full-spectrum, high-end defense capabilities?
How can we collectively overcome barriers to creating a unified EU defense market and a more integrated European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB)?
This high-level forum serves as a unique opportunity for the defense community to reaffirm its commitment to a stronger, more integrated EU defense framework that safeguards the interests of the Union and its Member States.
