🔹 Perceptions of security threats 
🔹 High trust among young people 
🔹 Calls for investment 

🛡️This sends a clear message: we must deliver.

All 19 Member States submitted their National Defence Investment plans for SAFE 🇪🇺

15 Member States have included support for Ukraine🇺🇦. More than expected! And we talk about billions, not millions.

SAFE is vital for EU defence readiness and our industrial base.

#Space plays a vital role in both our economic and #security interests.

It also is a contested arena with competing interests vying for dominance.

The new 🇪🇺 #strategy marks a paradigm shift, aimed at bolstering our resilience IN and FROM space.
