🚀 Vilnius Founders & LT Defence Tech: Unmanned Defense Systems

​Defence and dual-use are becoming one of Europe’s most important tech founder arenas — but they come with unique constraints: procurement cycles, compliance, manufacturing, export controls, and a very different fundraising dynamic.

​This Vilnius Founders meetup will feature LT defence tech innovations and operator discussions with founders and investors working in the space.

No slides. Practical takeaways. New connections.
