The return of war in Europe and its fallout on the European security architecture highlighted the need for EU member states to invest more and better in harmonising their national defences. As security becomes one of the EU's most strategic areas of engagement, common defence policies are a priority to ensure the bloc's resilience and effectiveness in facing our century's most pressing security challenges.
StrategicALLY is a podcast by Finabel, a European think tank promoting the cooperation and interoperability of land forces among its member states. Joined by their guests, Gaia Durante Mangoni and Patricia Bernardo break down the latest European defence and security developments by fostering a common European understanding of defence issues.

In this episode of StrategicALLY, hosts Belén Padrón Salinas and Zsigmond Tar sit down with Heiko Borchert, owner and manager of Borchert Consulting & Research AG, a strategic affairs consulting company that focuses a broad range of security issues. We will discuss the dynamics of geoeconomics and artificial intelligence for the defence industries in Europe, touching aspects such as the security of supply chains, interoperability and the modernisation of European militaries. Mr Borchert shares his expertise on the application of artificial intelligence and the geoeconomic aspects for armed forces and defence industries in Europe. As co-author of the book ‘The Very Long Game’ where 25 different countries are analysed as case studies for implementing AI in the militaries, Mr Borchert provides us valuable information on the modernisation of militaries across Europe. The podcast recording and sounds have been edited by Irina Antonescu.
