AFCEA TechNet Europe 2024

TechNet Europe, as per annual tradition, is an international event organised by AFCEA Europe, in cooperation with a local AFCEA chapter, which takes place every autumn, in a European capital city. The conference and exhibition is regularly held under the patronage of the host country's Minister of Defence.

Digitalisation stands at the forefront of the ongoing transformation in the Armed Forces of NATO and the EU, playing a crucial role in deterrence and decision dominance in the era of cognitive warfare. As various nations progress at different rates in digitising their Armed Forces, the challenges of cyber vulnerabilities, workforce training, global dependencies, and defence industry scalability become apparent. The two-day event will feature discussions led by senior experts from NATO, the EU, and the host nation, focusing on the European theater of operations. Industry representatives in the C4ISR/Cyber field will showcase solutions to enhance resilience in digital technologies. The conference aims to address emerging challenges and provide insights into navigating the complexities of digitalisation in modern warfare.
