ARCTIC15
DEFENCE TECH SUMMIT
3RD EDITION
The ARCTIC15 Defence Summit is a focused, invite-driven program within ARCTIC15 – 15th Year Anniversary Edition, bringing together defence innovators, deep tech founders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore how cutting-edge research becomes deployable capability — and how dual-use technologies strengthen Europe’s resilience.
Set within one of Europe’s leading startup conferences, the Defence Summit bridges capital, science, and real-world deployment in an increasingly complex security environment.
Why a Defence Summit at ARCTIC15?
Defence innovation no longer lives in isolation.
Breakthroughs in AI, space, sensors, materials, cyber, autonomy, energy, and communications increasingly emerge from startups, universities, and dual-use ecosystems — yet too often struggle to cross the gap from lab to field.
The ARCTIC15 Defence Summit exists to:
- Connect investors and fund managers with credible defence & dual-use technologies
- Translate research excellence into scalable, deployable solutions
- Explore how defence tech strengthens societal resilience, not just military capability
Create dialogue between startups, capital, industry, and public stakeholders
Who Should Attend?
The ARCTIC15 Defence Summit is designed for:
- Defence & dual-use startups (early to growth stage)
- VCs, CVCs, and institutional investors active in deep tech or defence
- Universities & research organisations exploring commercial pathways
- Industry & defence primes seeking innovation partnerships
- Public sector & policy stakeholders shaping the future of security and resilience
Attendance is included with an ARCTIC15 ticket.
