NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte spoke at the third NATO Cloud Conference in Brussels today (24 November 2025), emphasising the critical role of industry in bolstering the Alliance's digital defences. “There simply is no strong defence without a strong and also an innovative industry,” he stated, linking the conference's focus on security, fog and edge computing, and innovation to NATO's broader security goals.

Speaking to 500 participants from governments, industry, and academia, from across NATO and a number of partner nations, Mr. Rutte highlighted the need for stronger cooperation amid growing threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. He warned that adversaries are advancing in AI and quantum computing. “We must accelerate cloud adoption – or we will fall behind,” Rutte urged, calling for decisive implementation of NATO's Cloud and Edge Computing Policy and Allied Software for Cloud and Edge Services (Project ACE ) to enable seamless data sharing and faster decision-making.

Drawing lessons from Ukraine's rapid cloud migration to mitigate the impact of Russian attacks, Mr. Rutte pointed to decisions from the Summit in The Hague, including the commitment to spending 5% of GDP on defence by 2035, as providing the opportunity to fund investments in digital capabilities like cyber defence, AI, and cloud technologies.

The Secretary General addressed concerns over digital sovereignty, advocating a balance between national control and collective capabilities. He praised the benefits of cloud scalability and edge computing's speed for military applications, reinforcing NATO's push for resilient tools and increased cooperation among Allies.
