As the war in Ukraine reaches its third anniversary, the country stands out for its innovation in defense technology, including AI-enabled drones and defense initiatives like BRAVE1. Ukraine has become a hub for Western investment, underscoring the urgency for Europe to enhance its security infrastructure, particularly against the backdrop of a revitalized Russian military threat. Experts warn that Europe’s defense spending is insufficient, having decreased by 30% since the 1990s, and significant investment is needed to ensure sovereignty and resist future threats. Entrepreneurs and VCs are being called to action to foster a robust defense ecosystem.
At the end, it is about sovereignty. If you don't equip, if you don't invest, then you won't have that sovereignty.
Europe is facing its biggest threat in decades, and observers estimate it will take Russia 2-8 years to rebuild its army.
