DFM Platform

Audience paths

Who DFM Platform is for

DFM Platform organises public, source-linked defence-finance analysis by professional audience. Each path helps readers move from a strategic question to relevant Platform threads, and then to the full DFM Analysis.

Audience paths

Capital allocation

Investors & Capital Allocators

A public route into DFM analysis for investors, family offices, private equity, venture capital, asset owners and investment committees assessing how strategic priorities reshape defence and dual-use investability.

Core question: Which companies, technologies and industrial positions become strategically relevant because they align with allied capability needs, public funding and procurement demand?

Financial products and distribution

Financial Supply-Side

A route for ETF issuers, asset managers, index providers, banks, brokers, private-credit platforms, wealth channels and research providers building serious defence and strategic-autonomy products.

Core question: How can financial supply-side actors build products, indices, research and client narratives around defence without relying on generic defence-stock baskets?

Industrial positioning

Defence & Dual-Use Companies

A route for companies that need to understand how their products, technologies, supply-chain roles and partnerships map onto allied defence demand, EU/NATO priorities and investor relevance.

Core question: How can a company understand whether its technology, industrial role or supply-chain position is becoming strategically relevant?

Regulation and deal execution

Legal, Regulatory & Advisory

A route for legal counsel, M&A advisors, compliance teams and regulatory specialists working on eligibility, ownership, export-control, FDI, procurement and funding constraints.

Core question: Which rules, eligibility constraints and public-policy conditions shape access, valuation and deal execution in European defence and dual-use markets?

Public demand

Policy, Procurement & Institutions

A route for public institutions, procurement actors, audit bodies, think tanks, policy teams and public-affairs professionals tracking how strategic priorities become programmes, capability demand and industrial consequences.

Core question: How do allied strategic priorities turn into procurement demand, capability programmes, industrial requirements and funding flows?

Research to capability

Research, Universities & Deep Tech

A route for research organisations, universities, TTOs, laboratories, clusters and deep-tech companies assessing how scientific work becomes dual-use relevance, funding opportunity and industrial capability.

Core question: Which research and deep-tech areas can become strategically relevant when they connect to capability gaps, dual-use pathways and public funding?

How these paths work

Platform pages are public orientation layers. They do not replace the complete DFM reports. They help investors, companies, institutions and advisory teams find the relevant thread clusters; the complete, source-backed analysis and subscription remain on DFM Analysis.

Professional & group access

Professional access to DFM Analysis is sold per seat. Reference price: €1,500 per seat/year; teams above 5 seats receive a 25% discount (€1,125 per seat/year). Payment and subscription remain on DFM Analysis.
