Geopolitical instability and ongoing conflicts have increased the urgency for European nations to strengthen their defence capabilities and reduce reliance on external suppliers.
The launch of a significant growth fund specifically targeting European defence and dual-use technologies indicates a concerted effort to recapitalize the continent's defence industrial base, critical for national and regional security.
This fund provides substantial capital for growth-stage European companies in defence and deeptech, fostering innovation and scaling of solutions that can address modern security challenges.
