About Strategic Europe

Independent, open-source intelligence on European defence, security and cybersecurity — built to help Europe see its weaknesses, predict the threats, and prepare.

Our mission

For three decades Europe assumed someone else would handle its defence. That assumption is now the continent's greatest vulnerability. Strategic Europe turns the flood of open-source defence and cyber information into clear, trustworthy intelligence — so the public, analysts, journalists and decision-makers can understand where Europe is exposed, what is coming, and what to do about it. Our goal is not alarm. It is preparedness, resilience and a more united, strategically capable Europe.

What we do

We continuously ingest open-source material from EU and NATO institutions, national agencies, research bodies and vetted press; we verify and cross-reference it; an AI assistant drafts and simplifies; and a human editor reviews, contextualises and approves every published word. We also maintain a 24-actor strategic threat model, a European defence-industry directory with EU funding, and a curated EU/NATO resource hub.

Methodology

Open-source only. Public, lawful information. No classified material, no intrusion, no surveillance.
Cite everything. Every factual claim links to its public source.
Label the layers. Fact, Analysis and Opinion are always marked separately, with a confidence rating.
The EU angle. Every item answers: what happened, why it matters, and what it means for Europe.
AI assists, humans decide. AI never publishes unsupervised.

Ethics charter

Everything we do is subordinate to our charter, aligned to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights:

EU fundamental rights & rule of law on every security story
No harm to individuals — no doxxing, no operational targeting detail
GDPR by design · EU data residency
Independence — no funder, advertiser or government controls our conclusions
Pro-deterrence and resilience — defensive always, never incitement

Advocacy boundary: we advocate for resilience, fundamental rights and European cooperation — on the evidence — never for a party, candidate, vendor or government.

Independence & corrections

We maintain a public corrections log and welcome a right of reply from any named individual or institution. Trust is the product. Scores and assessments are European-perspective analytical estimates — analysis, not endorsement.

Get involved

Experts, journalists, academics, NGOs and officials can contribute analysis or a right-of-reply, reviewed and verified before publication. For early-access and partnership inquiries, contact sales@tk-ecosystem.eu.
