About us
A trusted forum for transatlantic defense cooperation
The American Defense Industry Forum brings together defense-industry leaders, policymakers, government representatives, and security professionals from both sides of the Atlantic.
Cooperation built on informed dialogue
Based in Brussels, ADIF provides a focused setting for informed dialogue, practical cooperation, and lasting professional relationships.
Our work helps members understand the European policy environment, exchange perspectives with key institutions, and contribute constructively to a stronger transatlantic defense industrial base.
Three decades of trusted engagement
For nearly three decades, ADIF operated as an informal group and professional network connecting people committed to transatlantic security and defense cooperation.
In 2025, ADIF entered a new phase of its development by becoming a formal not-for-profit trade association. This transition created a stronger foundation for the organization while preserving the trusted relationships, candid dialogue, and collaborative spirit that have defined ADIF throughout its history.
Today, ADIF continues to provide an independent platform where industry expertise and public-policy priorities can meet.
Connecting industry, institutions, and ideas
