Defense & Security
Transatlantic Strategy Group advises clients at the intersection of national security, advanced manufacturing, and international collaboration. With a deep understanding of defense-sector dynamics in both the United States and Europe, we help companies navigate cross-border opportunities where political alignment, industrial policy, and emerging technologies converge.
We maintain trusted relationships with senior-level decision-makers in the U.S. and German governments, including the Chancellery and relevant ministries, as well as contacts within the U.S. Administration and Congress. In parallel, we engage closely with industry leaders — from major prime contractors to specialized innovators.
Our defense-sector reach includes:
Longstanding relationships with companies such as Rheinmetall, Lockheed Martin, and
other U.S. and European OEMs.
Industry ties with smaller, agile firms in areas such as unmanned aerial
systems, cybersecurity, and next-generation communications.
Expertise in dual-use manufacturing strategies, helping companies establish or
expand “make local” capabilities in Germany and across the EU.
Deep familiarity with offset requirements, industrial participation programs, and EU
defense procurement frameworks.
Strategic support for U.S. companies seeking to align with NATO priorities, navigate export controls, and position themselves in key European markets.
We work with clients to craft tailored market entry and expansion strategies, forge partnerships with local industry players, and engage proactively with relevant government stakeholders. Our goal is to help clients align with evolving defense priorities — from resilience and readiness to innovation and interoperability — while advancing their long-term global competitiveness.
