Our mission

Empowering agile defence innovation

Agile solutions

We select ventures whose technologies solve concrete, frontline-verified problems.
Through staged validation and technical assessment, we ensure every case demonstrates clear operational value.

Scalable technologies

We focus on technologies that can scale through credible production pathways, partnership potential and measurable unit economics — enabling investors to deploy capital with confidence.

Cost-effective production

Our assessments examine manufacturability, supply-chain robustness and cost structures. Technologies capable of efficient, sustained production enter our investment pipeline.

Flexible systems

Flexibility is defined not by marketing claims, but by integration potential, modularity, and compliance with Western procurement and certification pathways.

Innovative integration

We prioritise technologies that can be integrated into NATO/EU systems, accelerate operational adoption, and create strategic value for both industry and investors.

Take the next step

Seek investment for your defence startup

We are gatekeepers between innovative ventures and Nordic investments. We focus on ventures developing technologies that are critical to Europe's long-term defence strategy, with an emphasis on scalability, adaptability, and integration with existing defence ecosystems.
