Moody's Data for Defence

At Moody’s, we are dedicated to supporting governments and defence institutions across Europe in enhancing their capacity for strategic foresight, resilience diagnostics, and project governance. This is particularly relevant in the context of the European Defence Fund (EDF) and broader EU defence objectives, where the complexity of geopolitical challenges and the evolving nature of security threats demand forward-thinking solutions and robust, data-driven insights.

Our expertise and tailored solutions have proven highly impactful across a variety of strategic areas, including:

1. Pre-Consortium Due Diligence and Industrial Risk Mapping
   We support the identification, assessment, and mitigation of potential risks related to industrial partners, technologies, and supply chains, crucial for the successful formation and operation of defence consortia. Our due diligence process integrates global risk assessments, regulatory compliance checks, and industry insights to ensure that all consortium members align with strategic goals while minimizing operational and financial risks.

2. Catastrophe Scenario Modelling, ESG, and Financial Resilience Metrics for Defence Innovation Actors
   In an increasingly volatile global environment, understanding potential catastrophic events and their long-term impacts is essential. We provide advanced scenario modelling to simulate various defence-related crises, helping institutions better prepare for disruptions. Additionally, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework and financial resilience metrics enable defence innovation actors to enhance their sustainability and adaptability, ensuring that they are equipped to navigate evolving threats and the shifting landscape of public accountability.

3. Supply Chain Integrity and Sovereign Risk Exposure
   Ensuring the integrity and security of defence supply chains is critical, especially as global tensions impact the availability and reliability of key resources. Our solutions help governments and defence contractors safeguard against vulnerabilities in their supply chains and better understand the exposure to sovereign risk. By analyzing geopolitical risks, economic sanctions, and trade restrictions, we offer insights that help mitigate disruptions and ensure continuity of mission-critical supplies.

4. AI-Powered Platforms for Post-Grant Monitoring and Performance Oversight
   Our AI-driven platforms empower institutions to monitor the ongoing performance and impact of defence grants and projects. These tools enable real-time oversight and proactive risk identification, ensuring that initiatives stay aligned with strategic objectives. By leveraging advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence, we provide governments and defence bodies with the tools to assess project outcomes, ensuring they deliver long-term value and adhere to financial and strategic priorities.

We are fully committed to aligning our capabilities with the national priorities of defence institutions and supporting the strategic goals of the European Defence Fund. If you see value in exploring this collaboration, I would be honoured to arrange a tailored briefing to discuss how Moody’s can complement and strengthen your efforts in achieving these ambitions. Whether you prefer a virtual or in-person meeting, we are flexible and will adapt the format to your preference and availability.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a discussion. I remain at your full disposal and would greatly appreciate your guidance on how best to move forward.
