On Thursday, 12 June at 9.00 am, Brdo pri Kranju will host a discussion focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises in the European Defence Technological Industrial Base, with the emphasis on the impact of strengthening the common European defence technological and industrial base on the situation of small and medium-sized enterprises of the EU Member States.  Friday, 13 June, will be devoted to industry. Business opportunities in Slovenia will first be presented to  interested representatives of the European and national defence industry; afterwards, the representatives will visit the Jožef Stefan Institute and two Slovenian commercial production organisations.

Discussion will begin with an opening introduction by the state secretary at the Ministry of Defense, Mr Franci Žnidaršič, and representatives of the European Commission, European Defence Agency and the AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe. Two round tables will follow, the first intended for state and administrative views and impact on the problem area in question, and the second for the efforts and practice of the defence industry.

The contributions and discussions will refer especially to the current situation of the European defence technological and industrial base, and the situation and role of small and medium-sized enterprises in the defence industry, as well as to the responsibility of governments for integrating small and medium-sized enterprises into the European defence technological and industrial base and to the instruments of the European Defence Agency in public procurement procedures.

The round table will focus on support for strengthening the common European technological and industrial base and on the enhanced capacity and global competitiveness of the European defence industry. Its successful implementation will positively influence future possibilities for the integration of small and medium-sized enterprises from all EU Member States into the European supply chains of defence and security products and services, as well as the reduction of administrative and other burdens and the general improvement of the business environment for small and medium-sized enterprises.
