German - Swedish Defence Industry Days

Welcome to the 2026 German - Swedish Defence Industry Days!

This event will bring together companies and stakeholders from the defence and security sectors in Germany and Sweden. Co-organizers SOFF and BDSV aim to create a space to connect, exchange perspectives and explore opportunities for closer cooperation between the two ecosystems.

Participants from both nations will have the opportunity to present their organisations, share ideas and build new partnerships. Through networking and direct conversations, the event is intended to strengthen collaboration and support future joint initiatives between German and Swedish industry.

Company Pitch Instructions – Day 2

On the second conference day, companies from Germany and Sweden will have the opportunity to present themselves on stage during dedicated country pitch sessions. Each company will have 60 seconds to introduce their organisation and highlight what they bring to potential partnerships. The speaking order will follow an alphabetical order within each national group.

Timing will be strictly enforced. After 30 seconds, a yellow card will signal that half of the time has passed. After 60 seconds, a red card will be shown and the pitch will end immediately.

Companies may support their pitch with 1–3 slides in PowerPoint format (.ppt or .pptx). Please note that PDF files cannot be accepted. Slides must be submitted no later than 10 March at 16:00. If no slides are received by the deadline, a placeholder slide with the company name will be shown.
