Accelerating Defence Innovation through Digital Engineering
5 November 2026, 09:00-16:00, Kongsberg, Norway
How is digital engineering transforming the future of defence?
Discover how leading defence organisations and companies across the defence supply chain are connecting engineering, manufacturing and operations through digital engineering and Virtual Twin technology to increase speed, reduce risk and maximise the lifecycle value of mission-critical systems.
As defence programmes and their supply chains become increasingly complex, digital engineering is enabling faster development, improved collaboration and greater efficiency across the entire product lifecycle. Join industry experts, technology leaders and defence innovators to explore practical strategies, real-world applications and the technologies shaping the future of defence.
What you will gain
By attending, you'll leave with:
- Practical approaches for accelerating engineering and manufacturing processes across defence organisations and their supply chains
- Insights into digital engineering best practices from leading defence and supply chain organisations
- A clearer understanding of how Virtual Twin technology supports faster innovation and collaboration
- New connections with peers across the defence sector and its wider supply chain
- Actionable ideas to improve engineering efficiency, collaboration and lifecycle management
Who should attend?
Product Engineers, Systems, Engineers & Architects, Design Teams, Project Managers, R&D managers and transformation-driven professionals.

Ready for pole position?
An iconic race car from the past cannot compete today. It requires modern materials, advanced simulation, integrated electronics, and real time data intelligence.
Engineering teams are no different. They cannot compete when they rely on isolated file based CAD, fragmented data, manual handovers, and disconnected simulation. The question is not whether your current CAD works. The question is whether it is built for the next race.
Secure your seat at this exclusive event and stay ahead of the race. Limited capacity. Registration required and subject to confirmation.
What you will gain
- Real-world insights from leading organizations
- A clear view on the shift from CAD tools to engineering platforms
- Practical guidance on improving engineering performance and collaboration
- Examples of how to move from fragmented tools to a connected environment
