April conference to focus on U.S. Army, NATO, and European defense community contract opportunities

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 28, 2025 — The International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) is set to host its second annual Europe Industry Days on April 7-10, 2025, in Wiesbaden, Germany. Attendees will receive updates on procurement activities in Europe from the U.S. Army, NATO/NSPA, and the European defense industrial base.

Europe Industry Days will feature more than a dozen expert panels and keynote speakers addressing timely topics, including military modernization in Europe, critical minerals and energy in Ukraine, and the current increase in the European defense spending. Representatives from the U.S. Army, NATO and NSPA (NATO’s lead organization for multinational acquisition, support and sustainment), and European governments will provide the latest updates on current procurement activities and welcome introductions from potential partners. Additionally, the highly anticipated Business Matchmaking Forum will offer attendees the opportunity to connect one-on-one with both industry and government representatives.

“As Europe ramps up its defense spending, companies in global stability and contingency operations should be familiar with European defense plans as well as U.S. procurement opportunities,” said ISOA President and Executive Director Howard R. Lind. “Expert updates and in-person connections with potential government customers and contractors will help attendees of Europe Industry Days create more successful public/private partnerships.”

Registration for Europe Industry Days is available on the ISOA website until April 7. ISOA members and non-members are encouraged to attend. Looking ahead, ISOA’s next major conference, on May 15-16, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii, will focus on stability operations in the Indo-Pacific Region. On June 16-17, ISOA’s Interagency Collaboration in the Americas conference will highlight government contract opportunities implementing U.S. border and immigration policies. Other upcoming ISOA events include advocacy meetings with congressional representatives, webinars, networking receptions, and small business forums. A listing of events can be found on ISOA’s website, stability-operations.org.
