In an era of growing geopolitical tensions, cyber threats, and economic vulnerabilities, maritime security is a critical concern for North America and Europe. This conference brings together defence leaders, military practitioners, and academics to assess emerging threats to maritime trade, undersea infrastructure, and naval operations. Discussions will explore the impact of global disruptions, the role of naval forces in deterrence, and the need for transatlantic cooperation to safeguard economic stability and uphold the rules-based international order. Through expert panels, strategic dialogues, and case studies, participants will gain insights into strengthening resilience, enhancing capabilities, and shaping future maritime security strategies.
