NATO Summit 2026: Delivering after Ankara

In Season 3, Episode 3, we unpack everything you need to know about the recent NATO Summit in Ankara.

Paul and Viktorija are joined by:

* Sir Stuart Atha KBE CB DSO, Director at BAE Systems, Head of the UK NATO Industrial Advisory Group;

* Emma Baker, Group Facilitator, UK NIAG Delegation;

The conversation tackles the primary geostrategic pressures driving the alliance. We unpack the key takeaways from the summit and the recent NATO Industrial Advisory Group Plenary hosted in the United Kingdom (UK) for the first time this century. We also explore the practical implications of a ‘NATO-first’ posture for UK defence planning, and the critical capability gaps European allies must address as the United States’ priorities shift.
