sectors
Three connected domains, one integrated practice
MSB operates at the intersection of defence, Space and Security, three increasingly interconnected strategic domains. MSB provides companies with a deep understanding of how these sectors evolve and overlap to anticipate market developments and activate new business opportunities.
Defence
European defence is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the changing geopolitical environment, increased investment and the growing need to strengthen European defence capabilities and industrial capacity.
For industry, this is creating new programmes, markets and opportunities for cooperation, while also making the landscape increasingly complex. Success requires a clear understanding of European and national priorities, capability requirements, procurement strategies and industrial positioning.
MSB helps companies navigate this evolving environment, identify where demand and investment are emerging, position their capabilities and build the partnerships needed to access new defence opportunities.
Space
Space has become a critical dimension of defence and security, moving well beyond its traditional role as a standalone technology sector.
Satellite communications, Earth Observation, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), positioning and navigation, Space Domain Awareness, space-based services and resilient space infrastructure are increasingly integral to defence capabilities and military operations.
At the same time, the convergence of space, defence, digital technologies and data is creating new markets and driving new forms of cooperation between traditional defence players, space companies and emerging technology providers.
MSB focuses on Space for Defence, helping companies understand emerging capability requirements, identify European and national opportunities, position their technologies and build the industrial cooperation needed to develop and access this rapidly growing market.
Security
Security is increasingly connected to both defence and space, spanning internal security, critical infrastructure, border and maritime security, cyber and hybrid threats, resilience and the protection of strategic assets.
The growing adoption of dual-use technologies, including AI, Earth Observation, secure communications, sensing and data analytics – is further blurring the boundaries between civilian security, defence and space.
This creates significant opportunities for companies able to translate technologies and capabilities across different user communities and markets.
MSB helps clients understand these converging requirements, identify dual-use opportunities, connect relevant stakeholders and develop positioning and partnerships across the European and national security ecosystem.
