Question · Q4 2025
Erik Rosenstahl inquired about Ericsson's current exposure and future opportunities in the Defense and Mission Critical sectors, following comments on increasing investments in these areas.
Answer
Börje Ekholm, CEO, explained that defense investments are currently part of total R&D but may increase due to a potentially sizable market driven by U.S. and European spending. He highlighted the shift to 3GPP-enabled solutions for cost-effectiveness and performance, and other applications like drone detection, noting that increased spending would be partly offset by efficiency gains.
