LTG (ret) Lance Landrum: Readout from behind the curtain at the NATO Industry Forum in Bucharest

The NATO Industry Forum held on 5 and 6 November brought together senior military leaders, government officials, and the full spectrum of defense industry partners for one of the most important conversations happening in our field. Many people could not attend due to travel restrictions. So I asked Lt. Gen. (Ret.) LANCE LANDRUM to come on the podcast and give a clear, unfiltered readout from inside the room.

This bonus episode is all about what NATO actually said, what it expects, and where industry fits into the next decade of European security.

From political leaders committing to unprecedented increases in defense spending to the pressure on industry to scale and innovate, Lance walks through the real message behind the forum. We cover lessons from Ukraine, the return of deterrence and defense as NATO’s core mission, the rise of drone and electromagnetic warfare, and the need for companies to take informed commercial risk.

You will hear from someone who has spent years inside NATO, understands its internal machinery, and now works directly with companies trying to navigate this landscape.
