About this report
The rearmament of Europe, accelerated by the war in Ukraine and uncertainties surrounding the reliability of US security guarantees, has initiated a structural transformation of the continent’s defence industry.
In this context, private investors—both private equity and venture capital funds—are increasingly seen as crucial to bridging gaps in public budgets and supporting technological development. According to the Financial Times , private capital is now considered an essential driver for strengthening industrial capacity and strategic autonomy in Europe.
