According to Roberto Cingolani, Leonardo "must act as a catalyst" to bring forces together at the European level, creating a common Defence arena. To achieve this, he highlighted the importance of reducing the fragmentation of investments across multiple platforms and working towards joint ventures on important supranational programmes.
The CEO outlined Leonardo's prospects for the near future, also referring to the upcoming launch of the new Industrial Plan. "Fast and technological" is the company's priority to remain at the forefront of strategic decisions at the European level, especially concerning alliances in land defence, the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) and future Space programmes.
The biggest challenge, as emphasised by Roberto Cingolani, is keeping pace with the technological transformation brought about by digitalisation throughout the Defence sector. This is essential to guarantee Leonardo's growth and contribute to safeguarding the European Union’s security.
