Gap of European Mechanisms Connecting Angel Investors and VCs with Defence Startups

Description
Europe is home to a growing number of innovative defence and dual-use startups. Yet, many continue to face significant challenges in accessing early-stage capital and connecting with investors who understand the sector. While public funding for defence innovation has expanded, mechanisms that effectively link angel investors and venture capital firms with promising defence startups remain fragmented and underdeveloped. This session will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders to examine the current gaps in Europe's defence investment landscape.
