The war in Ukraine served as a wake up for Europe, and the defense technology has not touched upon the best investment in the deep technology of the European VC, most of the European VC.
This turn is held at the end of the deal Report on defense, strength and security (SSR) in EuropeReleased with the NATO Innovation Foundation (NIF) 1 billion euro initiative Make direct investment and support funds in this space.
Portuguese based binary using Portuguese based in NIF portfolio includes beginners such as Tekever $ 74 million series b In November. In the aggregate, the initiates of the DSR are $ 5.2 billion in capital last year, 24% compared to 2023, about five times more than in 2019.
Despite the surge, the $ 5.2 billion US defense technology company is just twice as an antible reported they want to enlarge only for himself. However, this is more than 10% of all VC financing in Europe, 2.5 times in the past two years, due to the transaction.
“Appetite for defense, security and sustainability, a few years ago in Europe,” His founder and General Director Yoram Wijngaarde said statement. “Through deep technologies, Europe continues to issue capital and innovation to work on the main strategic needs.”
Now it shows that one-third of all the deep technological financing in Europe is with accounting, this is two overlaps. Since the DSR is wider than Defense technology, the supply chain, quantum technologies and energy can be equally critical for the sovereignty of the region.
This is a broader starting assortment, which is now falling into the DSR pipeline, especially growing defense budgets in Europe, the idea of selling less awesome technology. NIF himself hopes to help on this front; Recently, the British Army Veteran John Ridge was appointed to the novel adoption.
Division and slow adoption, VC appetite has long been a barrier, but it changes. The rise of double use of use contributed to this evolution: the sector of generalist VCs has made it easier to place within the mandate, which allows them to give them often weapons.
Pure Defense Tech is only a smaller lower part of the total finances, but it also has an increase; The report of a previous bargain room is expected to a $ 1 billion Since 2024, the five-fold increase since 2018. On the contrary, the wider range of European VCs, according to the report, investments are invested adjacent to the defense technology operating in at least one DSR deal in at least one DSR deal.
This increase is especially surprising in Germany; Like the main hubes of Munich and Berlin, it allegedly claimed Europe’s best place in 2024 in 2024. AI Defense Tech Rising Staring Helsing, located in Germany, Came together for $ 487 million The C series where the total catalyst led by the last year.
Again, these adaptations take time. The European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIF) 175 million euros ($ 182 million) to announce their first investment by Europe’s Investment Bank (EIF) on January 2024, 2024 parent organization) had to do Update the rules in binary-use technology.
It is not one of them as the lack of the founders, the lack of founders, the last defense throughout Europe. “Despite the latest growth, defense, security and sustainability technology, the data remains a relatively wet industry, but the data shows the active pipeline of early stages to change it,” Wijngaarde said.
