McKinsey & Company: Shaping Resilience

McKinsey serves as an institutional partner and contributor to the Munich Security Conference. Since 2013, McKinsey & Company have partnered with the MSC on a number of publications and roundtables on the topic of “The Future of European Defense.”

Shaping resilience: Defend. Secure. Innovate.

In the face of evolving security threats, European NATO countries are striving to increase the impact of their defense spending to deter conflict. The need to manage defense investments wisely will ensure they maximize the benefits for Europe’s security and resilience. The trade-offs that governments of European NATO countries could be faced with revolve around three categories: replenishing stocks and supplies quickly, improving equipment availability and mission readiness, and developing new capabilities to maintain technological excellence. 

In this compendium, we focus mainly on the third of these categories. The articles in the compendium highlight the role that innovation and technology can play in delivering impact from defense investment. They also analyze how commercial markets adjacent to defense can help ramp up innovation and efficiency.
