Germany’s Zeitenwende is reshaping the defence market and creating new opportunities for international companies and German Mittelstand businesses. But market entry requires more than investment: it calls for the right structure, the right partner and a clear strategy for technology, regulation and long-term cooperation.

Germany’s Zeitenwende has done more than increase procurement budgets. It has opened a market for strategic investments, joint ventures and technology partnerships. Germany is no longer just a place where defence companies sell. It is becoming a place where they produce. International manufacturers are expanding their German presence and actively looking for local partners, and public customers are increasingly willing to integrate foreign suppliers into established German supply chains. For international companies, the question is usually not whether to enter the market but how.
