Simonsen Vogt Wiig and the BNCC are pleased to invite you to a timely and practical breakfast seminar with high-level experts from defence, politics, academia and industry sharing their insights in a timely and highly relevant panel discussion:

The World Geopolitical Outlook:
When Allies Drift and Defence Becomes Everyone’s Business

Date: Wednesday 18 March
Time: 08.00 – 10:00
Location: Simonsen Vogt Wiig, Aker Brygge
Format: Breakfast seminar with panel discussion

The transatlantic security order is under pressure. Long-held assumptions about US security guarantees, European dependence, and NATO solidarity are being reassessed as Washington adopts a more transactional approach to alliances.

This BNCC event will examine what this shift means for Europe, focusing on:

• A less predictable US and the implications for European defence and autonomy
• Why bilateral partnerships outside the EU — including the UK–Norway defence agreement — are becoming increasingly important
• How hybrid threats, cyberattacks, disinformation, and pressure on critical infrastructure are redefining security

Businesses and supply chains are now part of the security landscape — making this a timely, practical discussion for leaders across sectors.

Further details, including the programme and speakers, will follow shortly.
