The Future of Our Security: DefenceTech, Startups, and Strategic Capital

Europe is undergoing a profound strategic shift as security and resilience rise to the top of the agenda. For the Baltics, this is not abstract—it is urgent. Defence and space tech leaders like Nanoavionics and Milrem show that our region is already producing world-class solutions while much of Europe is only starting to react. Could this be our second “Skype moment”—but this time in defence—where regional innovators help reshape Europe’s security architecture and strengthen NATO’s technological edge?
