Claus Ulrich Selbach, Vice President Exhibitions at Hamburg Messe, joins Janne Silden to unpack the reasoning and relevance behind the Maritime Security & Defence Conference 2025 (MS&D) in Hamburg.
He explains why procurement has become the central theme of Europe’s maritime defence dialogue — and how MS&D helps small and medium-sized companies understand and access complex defence systems.
From geopolitical shifts and funding programs to the practical realities of innovation and inclusion, Selbach outlines the structural intention driving Hamburg Messe’s latest initiative.
