NIAG is a high-level consultative and advisory body of senior industrialists of NATO member countries, acting under the Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD).

The vision of NIAG is to promote strategic dialogue between NATO and industry towards the enhancement of deterrence and defence of the Euro-Atlantic area by providing Industry’s premium and trusted advice to NATO’s CNAD - and other NATO bodies as appropriate - in support of NATO’s transformation, capability development and acquisition.

The mission of NIAG consists with the aims of:

1. Providing a forum for free exchange of views on industrial, technical, economic, management and other relevant aspects of research, development and production of armaments equipment within the Alliance; based on current and updated information provided by relevant NATO bodies,
2. providing industry's advice to the CNAD on how to foster government-to-industry and industry-to-industry armaments cooperation within the Alliance,
3. providing optimal use of NIAG resources to assist the Main Armaments Groups (MAGs), and their subordinate bodies, in exploring opportunities for international collaboration, and seeking timely and efficient ways to satisfy NATO military requirements.

Denmark is a member of the NIAG, represented by DI Danish Defence and Security Industries Association. We are the national Danish hub for companies participating in NIAG activities and study groups.
