Hasta // Field Intelligence Nr. 01
Europe has entered its largest defence reinvestment cycle since 1945. The money is moving. The question is whether the technology being built will survive contact with reality.
And Munich is waking up and taking notes. The manufacturing heart of Germany is producing a new generation of founders, engineers and operators who are done waiting for permission. The talent is here. The urgency knocks. What has been missing is a room where people can speak plainly.
Thus, we bring together a small group of founders, operators and investors for an conversation with one practitioner who has seen what works and what fails under real operational conditions. Not in a test environment. Not in a procurement document. In the field.
Moderated by Partners of Hasta Fund - built by operators who have been sourcing and validating defence technology since February 2022.
And with friendly support of the European Defense Tech Hub, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with key players in the defense tech ecosystem.
Session No. 01 - Waking up
Guest: Each session is anchored by one guest a practitioner with direct operational, procurement or field experience. Someone who has been inside the problem, not observing it from a distance.
