AbstractFollowing the huge success of SMi's Nordic Offsets events, the 3rd conference in our Nordic Offsets series will examine the Nordic and Baltic counter-trade environment and the implications of this on the defence industry. It will give case studies on country specific industrial co-operation requirements, particularly focusing on current and future procurement projects. This conference will also address the role of the government in assisting and co-ordinating military procurement.
Nordic and Baltic Offsets and Industrial Participation 2006 will evaluate the role and current demand of offsets in the Nordic and Baltic defence industry, and will analyse emerging partnerships between defence and civil organisations, looking at how these can be profitable. It will also look at the implications of changing policy and doctrine within the individual countries.
This event will identify new thinking and techniques used to meet industrial co-operation requirements. It will also give key case studies that will enable delegates to learn where to invest their research in order ensure successful industrial co-operation programmes. Additionally, Nordic and Baltic Offsets and Industrial Participation 2006 will analyse increasing trade prospects and future countertrade and industrial co-operation requirements for the Nordic and Baltic environment.
