NATO Urges Companies to Get Ready for Wartime: Key Strategies

Steps for Business Leaders to Prepare for Wartime: NATO’s Advice

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has urged business leaders to prepare for a “wartime scenario” in light of escalating global tensions and security threats. Speaking at a recent event, Stoltenberg emphasized the critical role the private sector plays in supporting defense and security operations, especially in the face of emerging challenges such as cyber warfare, energy disruptions, and the need for resilient supply chains.

He highlighted the growing importance of partnerships between governments and businesses to ensure readiness for potential conflicts.

Stoltenberg pointed to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and increased geopolitical instability in regions like the Middle East as reasons for heightened vigilance.

He also stressed the need to ramp up production of military equipment, maintain critical infrastructure, and safeguard communication systems against cyberattacks.

The call to action underscores NATO’s broader efforts to bolster collective defense capabilities and adapt to the changing nature of modern warfare, where economic and technological assets are as crucial as traditional military resources.
