Dear community members,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in a crucial survey set up as part of the BEPIDS project, in collaboration with the VUB, the FPS Economy and Agoria-BSDI. This survey offers a unique opportunity for companies, research organisations and higher education institutions to contribute to an in-depth analysis of the economic impact of the Belgian Defence (and Security-related) Technological and Industrial Base (BE-D(S)TIB).
Why is this survey important?
The BE-D(S)TIB plays a vital role in supplying goods, services, and technologies to defence and public security actors, either directly or through the supply chain. This survey aims to assess the economic impact of this key sector in Belgium and to identify the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping its future.
By participating in this survey, you will have the chance to share your expertise and experiences, contributing to a better understanding of how the Belgian technological and industrial sector supports defence and security at both national and European levels.
