The NATO Summit Defence Industry Forum (NSDIF26), NATO’s premier high-level event on transatlantic defence production, investment and innovation, will take place 7 July 2026 in Ankara, Türkiye.
An integral part of the 2026 NATO Summit, the Forum will bring together senior NATO, Allied and partner officials, industry leaders, and the communities responsible for driving forward industry and innovation to discuss its most pressing issues.
Previous editions at The Hague and Washington made clear that there is no strong defence without a strong defence industry. This year, the Forum will focus on Allied progress towards reaching NATO’s historic 5% defence investment plan, and on how this money is being put into action to generate increased defence production, cooperation and joint-procurement, all in the service of generating stronger industrial deterrence for the Alliance.
NSDIF 2026 will consist of:
- A one-day conference offering six closed-door ‘spotlight’ sessions in the morning and livestreamed plenary sessions in the afternoon. The morning sessions will run concurrently and are designed to maximise interaction within a small-group format. The afternoon segment will include keynote addresses by NATO, Allied and industry leadership and plenary sessions which will be broadcast to the public and open to the media;
and, for the first time,
- High-level announcements of national, multinational and industry-led agreements, deliverables and initiatives. These announcements will be made throughout the day, on the margins of the conference programme, at the NSDIF venue. They will cover a wide range of NATO priority capability areas, including: space and surveillance; integrated air and missile defence and strike capabilities. They will address the need to boost transatlantic co-production, increase rapid adoption of innovation, improve NATO-industry practical cooperation and deliver tangible defence investment guarantees.
