EBS Consulting and ClearPath Defence Advisory Announce Strategic Partnership

Athens, 30 September 2026

EBS Consulting is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with ClearPath Defence Advisory, founded by Nikolaos Mengos. The partnership brings together complementary experience to support defence organisations, industry and international partners.

ClearPath Defence Advisory offers independent strategic support for defence, security and complex programmes. Its founder, Nikolaos Mengos, brings more than 35 years of leadership and professional experience in the defence sector.

ClearPath focuses on three areas:

• Defence strategy and capability development: supporting capability planning, force development and strategic decision-making.
• Defence innovation and industry engagement: bridging operational needs, innovation ecosystems and industry stakeholders.
• Complex programmes and international cooperation: supporting multinational initiatives, governance structures and programme delivery.

EBS Consulting supports Greek and international companies across defence industry registration and security clearance, European and NATO programmes such as the EDF, EDIP, the EDA and NATO DIANA, and the Hellenic defence innovation ecosystem.

What the partnership brings

By combining ClearPath’s senior strategic perspective with EBS Consulting’s hands-on technical support, the two organisations can accompany companies from strategic positioning through to eligibility, programme participation and international cooperation.

For our clients, this means access to senior-level insight into capability requirements and multinational programmes, alongside end-to-end support from the first file to the funded programme.

We look forward to working closely with Nikolaos Mengos and ClearPath Defence Advisory to create new opportunities for the Greek defence and dual-use ecosystem.
