The primary goal is to develop security and defence cooperation within NATO, EU and other partner countries, military and civil authorities. All events are focused on the presentation of current and future needs of the armed and security forces, state-of-the-art technologies and R&D programmes with interactions between all involved stakeholders on the military and civilian level.

Another important aim is to facilitate active engagement with partner countries, international organizations, armed and security forces, law enforcement, private sector, R&D, and academia across the globe. The Future Forces Forum also regularly hosts the official NATO working groups sessions.
