DEFENCE TECH isn’t just for defence anymore. From drones to AI, dual-use technologies are opening new doors for startups working at the intersection of civil and military innovation. In this Hangout, we’ll explore how entrepreneurs can tap into this evolving space—what it takes to build for both markets, and why now is the time to pay attention.

We’ll hear from those leading the way, including perspectives from industry, policy, and investment. What are the opportunities? What are the risks? And how can startups position themselves in a sector that’s increasingly strategic for Europe? Join us to unpack the challenges and the potential of building in DEFENCE TECH.
