AI, Defense and Sovereignty: the French and Ukrainian Experience

A Euronaval side event on whether Europe can build its own AI for defence, from the battlefield back through the supply chain. Hexa opens, then two panels: European AI for defence autonomy as a France-Ukraine case study, and European sovereignty in AI along the supply chain. Networking reception with Georgian food after. Hosted by Hexa with Eastern Circles at La Cristallerie on Rue Martel in the 10th, 18:30 to 22:30. Free, seats are limited and registration goes through approval. Speakers are not named on the page yet. The room is aimed at defence tech founders, primes and industrials, armed forces and government, and investors in the sector. Why go: Ukraine's iteration speed and France's industrial base are the two halves of the European defence tech argument, and this puts people from both sides of it in one room during Euronaval week. Best for founders and investors in dual-use.
