Defence Tech Companies in Belgium
Belgium hit NATO's 2 per cent of GDP spending target in 2025 for the first time, committing €34 billion through 2034 under its STAR modernisation programme. The country's industrial base is anchored by John Cockerill Defence and FN Herstal, both headquartered in Liège, with a joint venture between the two and Thales Belgium formed in early 2026 to manage lifecycle support for Belgian Army land platforms. Hosting both NATO headquarters and major EU institutions in Brussels gives Belgian defence companies unusual proximity to the procurement decisions that shape the wider European market.
