ECSO welcomes its investors to participate in an exclusive online session on 12 December from 15:00 to 16:00 CET.
With Europe’s security environment shifting, conversations about defence investments have gained momentum, creating new prospects for private venture capital groups. The gathering is designed to promote discussions concerning how private investors can actively participate in public projects involving defence investments.
INVEGA, Lithuania’s national business development institution, will be present at the forum to showcase the Lithuanian defence investment fund. It is a compelling case study of national efforts to increase defence investments, providing significant insights into efficient defence investment methods.
Representatives from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) will introduce the European Defence Fund (EDF), an EU financial instrument established in 2021 to finance defence research and development projects, with a special focus will be given on cyberdefence.
This webinar is exclusively for ECSO Investors. To register, please contact Milda Kaklauskaitė at milda.kaklauskaite[at]ecs-org.eu.
