Aware that the State can no longer finance or manage gigantic fixed public stocks, Sweden has chosen to rely on the creativity and flexibility of the private sector. Through an Industrial Advisory Council that brings together the heads of major strategic companies and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, the country organises economic resilience upstream.<\/p><p>Companies with more than five employees are subject to rigorous planning: in the event of a major crisis or conflict, they are legally obliged to be able to operate independently for a fortnight. This requires dependencies to be mapped out, business continuity plans to be drawn up and human resources to be carefully managed, anticipating the fact that certain key managers could be mobilised at the front.<\/p><p>At the same time, the citizen is put back at the centre of the system via <strong>the duty of total defence<\/strong> (<em>Total defence duty<\/em>), which stipulates that all residents of Sweden aged between 16 and 70 must serve their country in the event of a crisis. The country is thus relaunching civilian conscription on a massive scale, initially targeting the emergency services before including a civilian component in the conscription examinations for 18-year-olds from next year.<\/p><p>This popular involvement is underpinned by a culture of transparency. The famous \u00abyellow brochure\u00bb, a <a href=\"https:\/\/bunkl.fr\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/livret-gouvernement-sudeois-en-cas-de-crise-ou-de-guerre-2024.pdf\">in the event of crisis or war\u00ab preparedness booklet\u00bb<\/a> distributed to every household, has been reissued with a tone of unprecedented seriousness:<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u00abIf Sweden is attacked, we will never surrender.

Faced with a Kremlin that uses history as an ideological battlefield to legitimise its imperial ambitions and deny its neighbours' right to exist, Sweden responds with factual counter-analysis and critical training. This information war, which targets the vulnerabilities of our democracies through social networks, the <em>gaming<\/em> or the recuperation of historical facts (such as Moscow's recurrent commemoration of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bataille_de_Poltava\">Battle of Poltava<\/a> 1709), is closely monitored in direct bilateral cooperation with the French agency VIGINUM.<\/p><p>To provide a common compass for this general mobilisation, the Swedish army and civil defence co-wrote a remarkable reference document: the \u00abPlanning Assumptions for Total Defence\u00bb.

Sweden devotes more than 3 % of its GDP to research and development (R&amp;D), an effort that has been boosted to almost 70 % by private sector initiatives. This economic vitality is reflected in an exceptional concentration of high-tech start-ups: Stockholm now exceeds London and Los Angeles in the number of \u00abunicorns\u00bb (companies valued at over a billion dollars) per inhabitant.<\/p><p>This excellence has a direct impact on the defence sector, where military investment has doubled in the space of just four years. Today, 43 % of the total defence budget is devoted strictly to equipment procurement.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Sweden has made a colossal financial and military effort of <strong>8 billion euros<\/strong> of aid to Kiev. Recently, on 19 February, Stockholm announced a massive new tranche of military aid worth \u20ac1.2 billion, focusing mainly on air defence, the shipment of munitions and logistical support for combat platforms already delivered.<\/p><p>In addition to these transfers, Sweden is actively involved in a number of training missions for Ukrainian soldiers. Above all, its support strategy has evolved: for several months now, Sweden has been supporting Kiev <strong>without drawing excessively on its own military stocks<\/strong>. Swedish industries are now directly producing new equipment for the Ukrainian forces.<\/p><p>This long-term alliance reached a historic milestone in October 2025: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson signed a letter of intent to allow Saab to supply <strong>between 100 and 150 Gripen fighters<\/strong> to Ukraine, radically transforming the capabilities of the Ukrainian air force.<\/p><p>At the same time, Sweden is securing its own strategic locks. The island of <strong>Gotland<\/strong>, a veritable \u00abunsinkable aircraft carrier\u00bb in the middle of the Baltic Sea, is of crucial importance. It is an integral part of the 17 key sites covered by the Defence Cooperation Agreement (<em>Defense Cooperation Agreement<\/em> - DCA) signed between the United States and the countries of Northern Europe. This agreement makes Gotland a new strategic hub, optimising both the logistics of aid to Ukraine and defence industrial cooperation between Washington and the Nordic capitals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-377b74d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"377b74d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7abe70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a7abe70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LESSONS FOR EUROPEAN SOVEREIGNTY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e8fe19 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5e8fe19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cc7010 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7cc7010\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea823b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea823b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Swedish case forcefully demonstrates that technological and military sovereignty cannot flourish without deeply shared civil resilience.
