Defense, Security, and Resilience

FEBRUARY 12, 2026 | 6:30- 8:30 PM CET | MUNICH, GERMANY

As rapid advances in AI and autonomous systems reshape the security landscape, Europe and its allies face an urgent test: scaling proven capabilities faster, so that new technologies can translate into real readiness.

Held on the sidelines of the 2026 Munich Security Conference, Foreign Policy will convene senior leaders from government, industry, and the investment community for an invitation-only reception examining what's needed to accelerate defense innovation—from sensing and intelligence to the protection of forces and critical infrastructure.

The evening is intentionally networking-forward, and will be anchored by a targeted high-level conversation hosted by Foreign Policy Editor-in-Chief Ravi Agrawal.
