TheFactory DefSec - Defence Technology Day

​What can investors and startups learn from a real-time, rapidly evolving defence ecosystem?

​In this event, we bring together operators, founders, and investors to explore the following questions:

• ​How is the Ukrainian drone defence ecosystem built up?

• ​What experiences from Ukraines drone defence can be adopted in Norway, and how?

• ​How can Norwegian and Nordic defence startups utilize open-sourced battlefield data in their business development?

• ​What have early-stage investors elsewhere valued when investing in early stage defence startups, and what are their experiences?

• ​What are some key use cases and technology areas that could trigger opportunities for Norwegian startups and early-stage investors?
